Quite amazing when the PM of a country – OK granted, a chapter 7 country – visits the arch enemy’s country for the first time and the Nepali pussy press can’t get a photo. Be that as it may, PM Dahal is enjoying his ‘dream’ trip. He also had some kind words for the United States.
“As this is my first visit to the United States of America, I would like to extend my sincere admiration to the spirit of the American dream,” he said, and went on to liken events in Nepal to the American revolution.
Gulp.
Not enough: Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ met several world leaders on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York yesterday.
He met Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavarov, US Assistant Secretary of State for South Asian Affairs Richard Boucher, Sheikh Hamid Bind Khalifa Al-Thani, Emir of Qatar, First Vice-President of Cuba Jose Ramon Machado Ventura and Prime Minister of Mongolia Bayar Sanj. In addition he met Charly Dixon, head of public restrooms at 36 Bronx Street, Barbara Clifter, chief burger flipper at Randy Corner and Slim Fat Cheek Jo Brewster of Booty Juice Records.
