KATHMANDU, Feb 11: A senior US official said on Wednesday that during a meeting with the Nepalese government he had raised the possible removal of the country’s ruling Maoists from a Washington terrorist blacklist.
“I had a constructive meeting with the prime minister,” Richard Boucher, US Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asian Affairs, told reporters.
They had discussed “lifting the terrorist tag,” he said, without elaborating.
“We want a good relationship with the current government,” he added.—AFP
