The ambassador spoke for the first time ever since the KP Sharma Oli government decided to dissolve the lower house of the parliament last week which translated into huge political unrest in the country.

The lower house of the Parliament has been dissolved but the government and other institutions are still working," said Acharya, adding that bilateral ties with India had improved significantly in the past few months after the tensions over the Kalapani dispute.
"With the visit by the Indian Army chief and then the foreign secretary, there has been a turnaround in the relationship and this trend is going to hold," said Acharya.

China, however, has been making a frenzied effort to keep KP Sharma Oli and his rival PK Dahal Prachanda together.
