The national political parties, including the ruling party, have agreed to conclude their negotiation within three months.

To realize this, the parties will meet 3 days in a week and each agenda would be covered in 5 days at a maximum.

According to the negotiators, some of the agendas can be covered in a shorter period than the allotted maximum time.

Though few of the negotiating parties proposed to start negotiating on “national consensus” first, the majority opted to begin with the “proclamation for the registration of political parties”.
