Norway to cut aid to Nepal
AFP, Kathmandu
Norway said Wednesday it will cut its planned bilateral aid to Nepal by 10 percent next year and will not enter into any new agreements with the Himalayan kingdom because of the king's power grab more than five months ago. "Norway considers the development after February 1 as a serious setback in regards to multiparty democracy, to constitutional monarchy, human rights and to finding a peaceful solution to the ongoing violent conflict," Norwegian ambassador Tore Toreng said in a statement.
