WASHINGTON, DC-Representative Eliot L. Engel, the Ranking Member of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, today made the following statement on the Nepali people’s adoption of their new Constitution.
“I congratulate the people of Nepal on the adoption of their new Constitution. Following years of political infighting and rigorous debate, I’m pleased that Nepal’s constituent assembly was able to find a consensus. Though the promulgation of the constitution is a praiseworthy milestone in advancing democracy in Nepal, I hope that Nepalis countrywide are able to peacefully engage with their government to continue the democratic process spurred by formal adoption of the Constitution.".
