He said that the Constitution of Nepal, democratic principles, the identity of an independent nation with sovereignty, fair national interests and international commitments will be discussed. "What are our efforts and problems in the journey of development and prosperity and how to join hands with the world regarding our efforts will be put in the United Nations," Prime Minister Oli said, adding that Nepal wants to have good relations with its neighbors, and not fake and artificial relations.
