Ministry of Foreign Affairs Press Release on Terrorist Attack against Indian vehicles

The Nepalese Foreign Ministry released a statement on April 6, 2004, condemning the Maoist attacks on Indian cargo vehicles and fuel tankers. Presented below is the full text of the statement:

PRESS RELEASE

His Majesty's Government strongly condemns the recent spate of terrorist attacks against Indian cargo vehicles and fuel tankers. Such attacks and similar activities are not only inimical to the friendly relations between Nepal and India, these attacks utterly disregard the needs of people for the continued supply of the essential items such as petroleum products. HMG will never tolerate any acts designed to harm the bonds of close and cooperative relations between Nepal and India.

Security agencies have been alerted to reinforce security measures with a view to preventing recurrence of such blatant acts of terrorism. HMG is committed to provide full security to Indian personnel and property in Nepal and to not allow any anti-India activities in its soil.

HMG urges the political parties, civil society and all those who believe in Constitutional Monarchy and Multiparty Democracy for their understanding and support in resolving the current problems peacefully forging a national consensus in a spirit of understanding and accommodation.

Signed
