India today expressed the hope that Nepal's political leaders will display flexibility and maturity to ensure a durable and resilient Constitution.
Foreign Secretary S. Jaishankar, who is in Kathmandu as a special envoy of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, said India is strongly supportive of Nepal's Constitution-making process.
"India has been strongly supportive of constitution-making in Nepal. We would like its completion to be an occasion for joy and satisfaction, not agitation and violence," he said in a statement.
"We hope that Nepal's political leaders will display the necessary flexibility and maturity at this crucial time to ensure a durable and resilient Constitution that has broad-based acceptance," he added.
During his visit, Mr Jaishankar met KP Sharma Oli, chairman of the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist), Pushpa Kamal Dahal 'Prachanda', chairman of the Unified Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist), Sher Bahadur Deuba of the Nepali Congress and leaders of Madhesh-based political parties, according to the statement.
