The UCPN (Maoist) chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal is returning home wrapping up a five-day trip to Belgium today.

Dahal is slated to land in Kathmandu at 4 pm. He had left for Belgium on Saturday. During his trip, Dahal also visited different parts of France, attended the conference of UCPN (Maoist) aligned People's Progressive Forum, and also addressed the European Parliament in Brussels.

Addressing European Parliament on Monday, Dahal said that the Constituent Assembly was dissolved due to the unwillingness of the traditional parliamentary parties to part with power and privileges they enjoyed in the past.

Saying that integration and the rehabilitation of the Maoist combatants was a key achievement in peace process, he expressed gratitude to international community including European Union for their support to Nepal. nepalnews.com
