KATHMANDU, Oct 25 - Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala has started consultations with foreign diplomats at a time when the political deadlock seem to show no sign of ending.

PM Koirala consulted with US ambassador to Nepal Nancy J. Powell and German ambassador Franz Ring on the prevailing political situation at his official residence at Baluwatar on Thursday afternoon.

According to the PM’s foreign affairs advisor Dr Suresh Chailse, the ongoing peace process and entire gamut of bilateralism were also discussed during the separate meetings.

PM Koirala is due to hold talks with ambassadors of a few other countries including British ambassador Dr Andrew Hall on Friday, a Baluwatar source said. Britain holds the current EU presidency in Nepal.

“The Prime Minister will also hold talks with Indian ambassador Shiv Shanker Mukherjee after he returns from India,” the source informed.

Ambassador Mukherjee is in India to discuss Nepal’s situation after the seven parties decided to postpone the Constituent Assembly elections for an indefinite period following disputes over key political issues between the PM Koirala-led Nepali Congress and CPN-Maoist.
