The Nepal Development Forum (NDF) meeting has been postponed indefinitely. Today's cabinet meeting postponed the meeting scheduled for May 12-14 in the valley.
The Finance Ministry has almost completed its preparation for the papers to be presented and invitation letters, said an official, "At the last moment, the latest political upheaval stopped all the process."
Some 900 participants were expected to take part in the inaugural ceremony on May 12, with 40 donors and five international export-import banks (EXIM) banks also taking part.
Earlier, the main opposition party Nepali Congress (NC) had hinted not to take part in the NDF meeting -- just like it did not take part in the NDF meet held during the royal regime -- alleging that the NDF strategy papers were prepared without consulting it.
Former finance minister and NC leader Dr Ram Sharan Mahat had blamed the Maoist-led government for not seeking consensus on the Nepal Development Strategy Paper (NDSP) to be presented at the NDF meeting.
