KATHMANDU, April 9: Danish Minister for Development Cooperation Soren Pind met with Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal at the latter’s office on Friday and urged Nepal to extend the tenure of OHCHR-Nepal by two years.



During the meeting, the Danish minister also discussed about constitution writing, peace process, army integration, UNMIN’s role and human rights situation, among other issues, according to the prime minister’s foreign affairs advisor Rajan Bhatarai.



The prime minister told the Danish minister that the UNMIN’s role is linked with peace process and the government will take a decision on whether to extend the tenure of UNMIN or not after consensus with political parties.



On the occasion, the prime minister also proposed the Danish minister to extend Danish support to construct mid-hill highway and a polytechnic institute in Nepal.



Pind, who assumed office a month ago, said he has given priority to Nepal as Nepal has been passing through transition.



He also inquired the prime minister about the government’s commitment to human rights and on programs for the relief or missing people and people affected by the conflict.



In the meeting, Pind urged the government to extend the tenure of OHCHR-Nepal for two more years.
