KATHMANDU: The meeting between Chairman of the ruling Nepal Communist Party (NCP) Pushpa Kamal Dahal “Prachanda” and Prime Minister KP Oli ended today with both the leaders agreeing to sit for another round of talks to thrash out the differences.

Although the nearly four-hour-long meeting has been dubbed “positive”, the meeting failed to yield any concrete outcome, according to Dahal’s press advisor Bishnu Sapkota.

“The meeting, however, remained constructive toward ending the ongoing dispute between PM Oli and Chairman Dahal,” he said adding that both the leaders have agreed to hold another round of talks any time soon.

Today’s meeting is learned to have focused on formation of party General Convention Organizing Committee, dissolution of the central committee, among others.

Baluwatar sources said Dahal and PM Oli also held talks on contemporary politics, basically on power sharing, among other issues.

The two top leaders are at loggerheads with Dahal and his camp demanding the resignation of PM Oli while the latter adamant to his stance of not stepping down at any cost.

Dahal has been insisting on convening a meeting of the party’s Standing Committee, which he claims PM Oli is in minority.

PM Oli, meanwhile, has been insisting on a meeting of the party nine-member Secretariat to address the current internal disputes.

NCP General Secretary Bishnu Poudel, Chief Minister of Province 5 Shankar Pokhrel, and Standing Committee member Janardhan Sharma also participated in today’s talks, Baluwatar sources said.
