KATHMANDU: The leaders of the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) have cut short their visit to China, returning to Nepal after only a few days instead of the planned ten. The delegation, headed by party Vice Chairman Dr. Swarnim Wagle, had initially set off for China last Saturday at midnight for an official program.
Nevertheless, the team decided to shorten their journey due to current political events in Nepal. Wagle said, "The political developments in Nepal are the reason we have shortened this visit." He stressed that they were conscious of what was happening and that they had decided to go back together in light of the difficulties the group was facing.
Wagle noted that the delegation completed two of the three agenda items during their visit in China, despite their early departure. The return coincides with heightened political unrest in Nepal, mainly after RSP Chair Rabi Lamichhane's close associate Chhabilal Joshi was arrested on suspicion of cooperating in a cooperation case.
The RSP's choice to scale back their tour is indicative of its preference for maintaining internal political stability over foreign commitments. The leaders' prompt return demonstrates their dedication to resolving the urgent domestic problems.
Wagle's remarks demonstrate a deep feeling of accountability for the party's current circumstances, implying that they thought it was imperative to remain in Nepal despite continuous difficulties. The delegation's prompt action suggests a deliberate concentration on internal issues as opposed to protracted international negotiations.
As party leaders negotiate the complexity of Nepal's current political environment, the RSP's return may potentially portend possible changes in political alliances or tactics. Even if their time in China was brief, their efforts could still have an impact on upcoming interactions and regulations.
