Kathmandu: Congress President Girija Prasad Koirala’s India sojourn continues to trigger speculations on his contact with the Maoists.

Of course, he himself would also make public capital from his talks with Indian leaders. Wonder, however, why there is so little publicity about his secret meeting here with the Chinese Charge de’ Affaires, Mr. Wang, immediately after his India trip?

What transpired in between the two is not known; however, Congress sources attach great importance to this exclusive tête-à-tête in between Koirala and Mr. Wang.

No wonder if Koirala is invited to Beijing for a “friendly” trip soon.

Is India meeting China through the kind courtesy of President Koirala and that too in Kathmandu?

The meeting must have been an interesting one loaded with politics indeed.

Or is it that Koirala wishes now to distance himself with India by securing close proximity with neighboring China?

Koirala is learnt to have invited the Chinese envoy at his Mandikhatar residence on Sunday afternoon.

Unconfirmed sources have told the Telegraph weekly that President Koirala met the Japanese Ambassador Tuesday evening and the meeting is learnt to have continued for hours and hours.
