SM Krishna to travel to Nepal next month

New Delhi, Dec 21 (PTI) Amid renewed political turmoil in Nepal, External Affairs Minister S M Krishna will travel there on January 15 on a two-day visit during which the two sides will discuss the status of the strained peace process and other issues.

Krishna is expected to meet Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal and hold talks with Foreign Minister Sujata Koirala, ministry sources said here today.

The two sides will review bilateral ties and discuss the status of Nepal's peace process which is in trouble because of widening rift between the mainstream political parties and Maoists.

In view of the differences, one of the main objectives of the peace deal of 2006 -- rewriting of the Constitution by March 2010 -- is all set to miss its target.
