Senior Maoist leaders have expressed commitment to allow industries to operate smoothly without any fear or threats.
Speaking at an interaction with industrialists associated with the Confederation of Nepalese Industries (CNI), in the capital on Wednesday, Maoist Chairman Prachanda and senior leader Dr Baburam Bhattarai have promised that they would encourage local investors and protect 'national capital' for effective economic development of the country.
A press statement issued by CNI said the Maoists stressed on the need to advance the future economic outlook, boost national capital, commercialise agriculture, create employment with a broader perspective and develop parallel policies for politics and economics.
On the issue of inviting foreign investment, Maoist leaders have stressed on the need for certain provisions and mechanisms so that domestic industries will not be hit hard, the statement said.
Maoist leaders have expressed inclinations towards mixed economy. However, CNI businessmen have reiterated that the government should handle sectors such as education, health, electricity and drinking water and infrastructure development, while the private sector should act as an engine of growth to boost economy.
The leaders also agreed to create a mutual understanding between managements and trade unions in the industry.
Maoists and CNI have agreed on various issues such as creation of a sound and safe industrial environment, correspondence to international media stating that Nepal possesses peaceful environment to travel, an active role for Maoists to settle tricky issues between trade unions and industrial management and developing a code of conduct for creating a long-term economic road map.
The Maoist commitment came at a time when there is confusion about the Maoists’ economic policy.
CNI has agreed in principle that it would participate at a national conference of businesspersons and create confidence between the business sector and the Maoists.
