Here’s a quick summary of important, ignored and interesting reports from Tuesday to kick-start your day.
Important
With Chinese President Xi Jinping expected to visit Nepal in the coming weeks, top leaders of the ruling Nepal Communist Party (NCP) including PM KP Oli and a delegation of senior Chinese Communist Party leaders on Monday began a two-day closed-door workshop on the NCP’s ideology, party organisation and development model. Song Tao, the head of the Chinese Communist Party’s international department who addressed the meeting, said that the communist party should focus its attention on economic prosperity. Song told NCP leaders that Marxism and Communist were not cast in stone and it needs to be developed according to changing times. Song said that productivity was important in taking the society forward and because socialism facilitates greater productivity, it was better than capitalism. Song said that the key difference between other parties and the Communist party was that the Communist party is ready to cleanse itself and develop its own political tradition.
Prachanda: Signed up for BRI after thinking about it seriously
