Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba held a meeting with the main opposition CPN-UML Chairman KP Sharma Oli at the latter's residence in Balkot, Bhaktapur on Thursday.

During the meeting, PM Deuba sought help of Oli to endorse the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC), a Balkot source said.

PM Deuba appealed for the parliamentary ratification of the MCC.

"Prachanda and Madhav Nepal did not agree to ratify the MCC. You have taken the MCC ahead earlier also. The United States has also given the government of Nepal a deadline February 28 to endorse the MCC. We need your help to ratify the MCC," the Prime Minister said.

The duo also discussed the negative role played by Speaker Agni Prasad Sapkota.
