Almost a month after the cabinet meeting decided to write a letter to the US saying that it will not participate in the SPP, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has not yet sent any correspondence to the US in this regard.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs has not yet written to the US to provide the information regarding the government’s decision not to participate in the US State Partnership Program (SPP) .While the leaders of various political parties are questioning the fact that the letter has not been sent to the US according to the decision of the Council of Ministers , the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has said that it is only doing homework with the relevant agencies.

Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs held a regular press conference on Wednesday and informed that there is a need to discuss the matter with the Ministry of Defence, the Nepali Army and other agencies and that the homework is being done.

”We will correspond with the United States through the diplomatic mechanism at an appropriate time regarding the decision of the Nepal government,” said the Ministry of Foreign affairs.
