Kathmandu. The CPN-UML has invited distinguished guests from 62 parties from different countries to the National General Convention to be held in Chitwan from November 29 to 30. The UML, which is planning to hold a grand convention, expects high-level leaders from communist countries such as China, Vietnam, North Korea, Laos, and Cuba to attend. UML is preparing to present a significant number of foreign guests at the general convention to be held after the split on Bhadra 1(September 20).
For that, letters have been written to the parties in Asia, Europe, Latin America, and Africa four days ago. Central member and foreign affairs chief Rajan Bhattarai said that a letter has been sent through the party’s foreign department to send at least two or three guests from those countries. “We have written to the Friends, the Brotherhood, and all the countries with which Nepal has established diplomatic relations for hospitality,” Bhattarai said. “We are waiting for their response.”
The Communist Party of India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, and the ruling parties in those countries have also been invited to the convention. All the Communist parties in India have been invited to be guests at the convention, according to the UML Foreign Office. Letters have also been sent to the Communist Party of Spain, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Japan, Greece, Turkey, Portugal, Italy, Spain, Germany, Cyprus, South Africa, and Brazil.
Similarly, letters have been sent to the parties of various countries affiliated with ICAP to be the guests of the General Convention. India’s Bharatiya Janata Party, Congress I, Samajwadi Party, Janata Dal-United, Cambodian People’s Party, Awami League, Sri Lanka Freedom Party, African National Congress, Pakistan People’s Party, Muslim League of Pakistan, and Pakistan’s ruling party PTI have also been invited.
Similarly, invitations have been sent to Australia, New Zealand, Denmark, Malaysia, Thailand, Finland, Philippines, Indonesia, Singapore, Sweden, Norway, and Belgium, according to the UML Foreign Office. On the basis of that, correspondence has been sent to 62 parties from different countries.
“We expect a physical presence of two representatives from each of the parties we have corresponded with,” Rijal said. Arrangements will be made to take it. For that, the standing committee meeting to be held on Thursday is likely to form a hospitality sub-committee.
