Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba has said that he will inform the Parliament about his visit to the United States only after it is formally confirmed.

During a meeting with Nepali Congress whip Pushpa Bhusal, the Prime Minister said that he will inform the Parliament and the Parliamentary Committee after his visit is confirmed.

Earlier this morning, the Prime Minister snubbed the meeting of the International Relations Committee under the Federal Parliament called to discuss the State Partnership Program (SPP) and his planned visit to Washington.  He skipped the meeting citing his busy schedule.

In the meeting of the Committee held earlier, Foreign Minister Narayan Khadka said that the preliminary discussion has been held about the Prime Minister’s US visit but the final decision has not been made yet.
