KATHMANDU, DECEMBER 22

The CPN-Maoist Centre has said all preparations for its first National Conference have been completed.

At a press meet organised at the party headquarters in Parisdanda today, party Spokesperson Krishna Bahadur Mahara said political, ideological and technical preparations regarding the national event were over now.

The party has scheduled its national gathering at Nepal Academy from December 26 to 28 that coincides with the birth anniversary of Chinese revolutionary icon Mao Tse-tung.

Mahara shared that party Chair Pushpa Kamal Dahal was writing a political report for the conference and the document aimed to direct the entire party hierarchy to move towards generating new revolutionary thoughts and further strengthening the party by restoring its image.

He said the report would be presented at the conference only after its endorsement by the party's Standing Committee.

Citing that the general convention and national conference were different things, he said the national conference would germinate new revolutionary thoughts and build a new party. "New revolutionary thoughts and a revolutionary party are needed to defeat new forms of imperialism and end residues of feudalism," he said.
