"We need to resolve problems with a positive thinking," Dahal said, speaking to mediapersons at the international airport upon his return from China. [break]
He declined to speak further on what approaches his party would take.
The flurry of intense talks between the three top political parties -- the Maoists, the Nepali Congress and the CPN-UML -- during and immediately after the Dashain festival in the last week of September almost petered out, with the parties sticking to their positions.
The leaders of these parties talked of compromise but their representatives in the three-party talks failed to strike an agreement.
At the heart of the dispute is what the Maoists term "unconstitutional" move of President Dr RamBaran Yadav who asked the then army chief Rookmangud Katawal to stay in his job after the minority Maoist government dismissed him in May. The NC and UML have backed the president´s move. The three parties have struggled to agree on how to resolve the crisis.
At the media briefing, Dahal objected to Defense Minister Bidya Bhandari´s remarks on sending the ex-Maoist combatants -- living in UN-monitored cantonments -- home. She reportedly repeated her controversial stance saying the Maoist fighters would not be integrated into the Nepal Army.
"No one should speak anything against the Comprehensive Peace Accord (of 2006)," Dahal said. "Even those from my party desist from doing so."
In China, Dahal met senior leaders from the Communist Party of China and government, including the president, Hu Jintao.
He said President Jintao was positive about providing any kind of assistance to Nepal´s peace process.
Is Critical Thinking Really Critical?
The Maoist chairman said Chinese people are proud of the fact that the UCPN (Maoist), which is inspired by the ideology and military strategies of Mao Zedong, has become the largest political party in Nepal. However he said the differences between the Chinese Communist Party and UCPN (Maoist) exist. "While we highly esteem the Cultural Revolution, the Chinese say it was a great loss," he said, "But they have deep sympathy for the People´s War and the ongoing peace process."
The Cultural Revolution was a period of widespread social and political upheaval in China between 1966 and 1976, resulting in nation-wide chaos and economic disarray. During the period, thousands of people were killed on the charge of conspiring to restore capitalism.
Dahal also said that the Chinese don´t want the Nepali Maoists to go back to jungle to wage a war again, but concentrate on the development works and nation building.
Accompanied by Senior Maoist Vice Chair Mohan Baidya and Foreign Department chief Krishna Bahadur Mahara, Dahal had left for China on Oct 11.
