In a meeting with the Bhutanese delegation led by RK Dorji, the president of Delhi-based Druk National Congress (DNC), Nepal said that they had always wished to see the dawn of inclusive democracy in Bhutan.

"Nepali people have deep sympathy for the suffering of Bhutanese refugees in Nepal," PM told the delegation.

Dorji also informed the prime minister about current political situation in Bhutan and hardship of refugees in camps as regard to limited facilities from donor agencies.

"It is good that you are here in Nepal completing your long confinement in Delhi," PM Nepal told.

Dorji informed the Nepalese caretaker Prime Minister that the Bhutanese leaders were working to establish a contact office in Kathmandu and have expected all types of supports to run the office.

"The establishment of genuine democracy in Bhutan, repatriation of Bhutanese refugees and strengthening of people-to-people relationship between Nepal and Bhutan are our priority," Dorji told the PM.

Dorji also urged the government to issue travel documents for refugee leaders.
