BUTWAL: Minister for Foreign Affairs Pradeep Gyawali has reiterated that the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) Compact signed between Nepal and the US will be endorsed by the Parliament.
Minister Gyawali made the statement as the ruling Nepal Communist Party’s (NCP) Standing Committee meeting recently decided to endorse MCC by making necessary amendments.
Talking to journalists in Buwal today, Minister Gyawali said any concerns raised about the MCC Compact would be addressed before endorsing it.
It should be noted that the ruling NCP is divided over the issues.
The party had formed a three-member task force comprising party senior leader Jhala Nath Khanal, Standing Committee member Bhim Rawal, and Pradeep Gyawali to recommend on the issue.
While Khanal and Rawal were against the idea of endorsing the MCC Compact, Gyawali has argued that Nepal should endorse it.
