After the 10th round of talks, the government and the agitating Nepal Federation of National Indigenous Nationalities (NEFIN) on Tuesday have signed a 20-point agreement.
The talks held at the Park Village Resort at Godavari of Lalitpur reached to the conclusion after the government and NEFIN representatives agreed on constitutional guarantee of at least one seat to each indigenous group in the constituent assembly.
“The government has agreed to give at least one seat to a person from each indigenous nationality group,” said Dr Om Gurung, Coordinator of the NEFIN talks team.
Dr. Gurung said that the talks also agreed to state‘s restructuring bases on ethnicity, religion and geography.
The government side has also agreed to seriously take up the NEFIN’s key demand for federation based on ethnicity, languages and regions during the upcoming meetings of the ruling eight-party alliance.
After the agreement, the NEFIN has called off all strikes it had been coordinating in the past.
