Rabi Lamichhane, the chairperson of Nepal's Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP), has had his planned visit to China postponed. The trip, which was initially slated for the second week of August, had already been rescheduled for September. However, according to a high-placed source, Lamichhane will not be traveling to China in early September either.
The postponement comes after Lamichhane's recent trip to India. The exact reasons for the repeated delays were not specified, but the source indicated that the visit has been put off for the time being. Instead of Lamichhane making the trip, a delegation of lawmakers from Nepal is now expected to visit China.
This development marks another shift in the planned diplomatic engagements for the RSP leader. Lamichhane's party is a significant political force in Nepal, and his international visits often attract considerable attention. The details surrounding the delegation that will eventually visit China remain unclear.
