Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal and CPN-UML Chairman KP Sharma Oli held a meeting in Baluwatar on Sunday.
During the meeting, the duo discussed formation of a high-level probe commission to investigate the gold smuggling case.
It has been learnt that the meeting ended on a positive note.
The Prime Minister will be addressing the House of Representatives (HoR) session today and the announcement of the formation of the Commission was likely before the session commences.
It may be noted that the Department of Revenue Investigation (DRI) had on July 19 confiscated around 61 kilos of gold that was smuggled into the country via Tribhuvan International Airport.
According to UML whip Mahesh Bartaula, the meeting ended on a positive note and they were close to a consensus regarding the agenda and jurisdiction of the Commission.
Though the ruling and opposition parties earlier agreed to constitute the Commission, consensus on its agenda and jurisdictions was awaited.
The UML continues to obstruct the House following the confiscation of the gold, demanding the formation of a high-level probe commission to deal with the gold scam.
