Kathmandu, Sept 30: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) has expressed concern that the news some media carried regarding the press release issued by the MoFA on September 28 on the forthcoming 19th SAARC Summit was presented in a way it could be misinterpreted. The press release was issued by the MoFA in the context that four SAARC member countries had shown their inability to participate in the forthcoming SAARC Summit slated for coming November 9-10 in Islamabad, Pakistan, showing the reason of the atmosphere not conducive for the successful holding of the Summit, added the MoFA on Thursday.
As per the SAARC tradition, if any of the SAARC member country shows inability to attend the Summit, it is clear that the Summit cannot be held.
“As it is not good for the SAARC member countries to have the SAARC Summit postponed sine die,” the MoFA press release said, adding that Nepal, as the country currently chairing the SAARC, has called for atmosphere conducive to hold the Summit ensuring the participation of all member countries. To this regard, it is expected that special initiative would be made by the country hosting the forthcoming Summit.
Similarly, Nepal is firm that it will accomplish the role it should play from its part as the Chair Country to this regard, underscored the MoFA press release. RSS
