The commitment expressed by leaders of the ruling Nepali Congress and Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist Leninist) and the opposition Unified Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) at a programme organised by a private TV channel is seen as a big breakthrough.

Nepal has been witnessing a political impasse since May, when the Maoist-led government stepped down over the President’s refusal to remove the Army chief.
