Government-Maoist talks today

The first round of talks between the government and the Maoists starts Friday afternoon at Gokarna Forest Golf Resort and Spa in Kathmandu.

According to a member of the government talk team, the first round of talks will primarily focus its discussion about the mandate of the reinstated House of Representatives (HoR) and the 12-point agreement between the Seven-party Alliance (SPA) and the Maoists.

The code of conducts to be followed throughout the talks is also expected to get a final touch from both sides today.
