KATHMANDU: CPN-UML Chairperson KP Sharma Oli has said Nepal should take initiatives to make the 19th SAARC Summit dispute-free. At a greeting exchange programme organised here on Thursday by CPN-UML Public Relations and Coordination Committee, Chairperson Oli said the Prime Minster should make concrete efforts to resolve the latest disputes surfaced in view of the SAARC Summit as Nepal currently chairs the regional cooperation body. It may be noted that the largest member state India has declared not to take part in the upcoming SAARC Summit to be held in Pakistan citing tension in its relations with the host country. Likewise, three other countries of the region also decided to follow the Indian line. READ ALSO:
