Nepal’s parliament has passed a new constitution by 507 votes to 25.
Members of the Constituent Assembly cheered as the result was announced, marking an end to years of stalemate over its drafting.
The Himalayan nation has endured an extended period of political instability following the abolition of its Hindu monarchy in 2008.
The Rastirya Prajatantra Party campaigned at length for a return to Hinduism as the official state religion, and the Assembly’s rejection of the latter by more than two-thirds was met with protests by party supporters in the capital, Kathmandu.
The new secular constitution divides Nepal into seven federal provinces and is due to come into effect on 20th September. It replaces the interim constitution which has governed the country since it became a republic.
Nepalese Prime Minister, Sushil Koirala, tweeted that it was “an issue of pride for all Nepalis that the people’s constitution has been passed”.

The Embassy of Romania, in cooperation with the Romanian Cultural Institute in Brussels, presented a screening of the recent Romanian comedy film, “ To Paris with the Identity Card,” on Thursday, 17 September to mark the opening of the European Film Festival.
The four day festival, being held in the Netherlands, is organized by the Information Office of the European Commission in the Netherlands, the Filmhuis in The Hague, the Romanian Embassy and other diplomatic, cultural and business partners. Ten films will be shown at various venues in The Hague during the festival, which runs through Sunday, September 20. In addition, many more films will presented in seven other Dutch cities during the coming days.
H.E. Ireny Comaroschi, Ambassador of Romania to the Kingdom of the Netherlands, warmly welcomed guests to the special event held in the embassy’s grand drawing room. The room had been transformed into a private “film house” for the evening screening shown to a capacity crowd.
Among the ambassador’s invited guests were members of the Romanian community in the Netherlands, Dutch government officials, including Mr. Roelof van Ees, Director of Protocol of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands and film aficionados enjoying the opportunity to participate in the European festival.
After reading a short synopsis of the film, before responding to the ambassador’s invitation, some guests may have been expecting a light comedic story about migration, love or a tourist’s adventures in Paris. Instead, they were introduced to a realistic tragicomedy. The film depicted contemporary life in Bucharest, after the fall of communism nearly twenty-five years ago, as experienced by a community of former academics, politicians, aging citizens, young couples and troubled families.
Serban Marinescu, the director of the film, documented the vacuous reality of his fictionalized characters’ bleak isolated lives sharply—lives seemingly devoid of values, hope and meaning. His acute eye for detail in chronicling the mundane sights, sounds and dialogue in a sordid Kafkaesque parody of “civilized” urban society in the modern world, where every character’s life seems to have been impacted by the “seven deadly sins” in the age of globalization. Only the aging academics, idealists of Bucharest’s “University Square” have managed to retain their dignity and values in the midst of a seemingly decaying culture.
Actor Mircea Diaconu.
Following the screening, the audience had an opportunity to speak with the film director, Mr. Șerban Marinescu, actors Mr. Mircea Diaconu and Mr. Dorel Vișan, the director general of DACIN-SARA, Mr. Bogdan Ficeac and the film producer Mrs. Carmen Tripădus. Many in the audience, who were gathered for the event, expressed their views on Romanian politics, society’s values and poverty. Others expressed feelings of pride with both the excellent film and the artistic skills of Mircea Diaconu and Dorel Vișan, with bringing cinematic “life” to their characters. Even the Ambassador, shared her opinion, by expressing her gratitude to the film team present for the occasion, for their daring exploration of the uncomfortable realities of Romania’s modern life through the art of film.
“To Paris with an Identity Card” is produced in Romanian with English subtitles. Ambassador Comaroschi, as is her custom, ensured that, in addition to her staff, two professional translators were available to facilitate discussions between her guests throughout the entire evening. Following the screening, lights refreshments, including Romanian wines, were served.

Bangladesh has made significant strides achieving major Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) targets, mostly spending its own funds, says the country report published Wednesday on the UN-designated global agenda.
Though the daunting task required a great deal of foreign assistance, such development aid was scanty, government leaders said at the report-launching meet. According to the MDG Bangladesh Country Report 2015, despite having resource constraints, Bangladesh is on the right track in achieving most of the MDG targets with remarkable successes in poverty alleviation, food security, gender equality, checking infant death, lowering maternal mortality and reining in HIV spread and tuberculosis.
For accomplishing all the MDG targets Bangladesh needed US$78.2 billion during 2011-2015. But an annual average Official Development Assistance (ODA) receipt was only $1.74 billion against its yearly requirement of $3-5 billion.
The government is now preparing Bangladesh proposal on Sustainable Development Agenda (SDA) as post-2015 development agenda which will be placed with the United Nations. The implementation period for SDA has been proposed a decade and a half (2016-2030).
According to the MDG performance report, released by the General Economics Division (GED) of the Planning Commission, Bangladesh has made commendable progress in respect of eradication of poverty and hunger. The country received an impressive outcome in poverty reduction, from 56.7 per cent in 1991-92 to 24.8 per cent in 2015, says the report “The country achieved the commendable progress mainly due to relatively inclusive growth strategy and robust GDP that was accompanied by structural transformation of the economy with greater share of manufacturing and service sectors,” said GED member of the Planning Commission Prof Dr Shamsul Alam while presenting the MDGs Progress Report 2015 at a local hotel.
Finance Minister Ama Muhith, Planning Minister AHM Mustafa Kamal, State Minister for Finance and Planning Ma Mannan and Bangladesh Bank Governor Dr Atiur Rahman jointly unveiled the report, titled ‘Millennium Development Goals: Bangladesh Progress Report 2015″.
“Bangladesh has achieved considerable success in many areas of MDGs and has become a role model for others,” said the finance minister while inaugurating the publication ceremony. “It might take some 15 years for whole of the world to eradicate poverty by 2030, but for Bangladesh eradication of poverty is a matter of few years only,” said Mr Muhith. Planning Minister AHM Mustafa Kamal also termed Bangladesh’s progress on MDGs meaningful and balanced. He expressed the hope that the country would be completely free from hunger by the year 2028 and elevated to the status of a rich country by 2040.
“We can even exceed Malaysia, Singapore and Australia by 2040 if the continuation of progress is maintained accordingly,” said the planning minister on a high note of optimism. Although Bangladesh has successfully met most of the UN Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) targets, it still misses some indicators, including employment generation, adult literacy and the elimination of hunger and poverty, the progress report admitted.
It pointed out fund shortages and climate change as severe threats to achieving the remaining goals. The report identified the areas which are in need of greater attention. These are increases in primary school completion and adult literacy rates, creation of decent-wage employment for women, increase in the presence of skilled health professionals at delivery, increase in correct and comprehensive knowledge on HIV/AIDS, increase in forest coverage and coverage of ICT.
In line with the Millennium Declaration, a framework of 8 goals, 18 targets and 48 indicators were set to measure progress towards the MDGs over the period from 1990 to 2015. However, from January 2008, twenty-one targets were reset and 60 indicators used to monitor the MDGs progress.
The eight MDGs were poverty and hunger, primary education, empower women, child mortality, maternal health, HIV/AIDS and other diseases, environmental sustainability and partnership for development. About gender equality and empowerment of women, the report says Bangladesh has already achieved the targets of gender parity in primary and secondary education at the national level.
In 2015, Bangladesh was awarded prestigious Women in Parliaments Global Forum award, known as WIP award, for its outstanding success in closing the gender gap in the political sphere. Bangladesh ranks 10th out of 142 countries. The country is on track for meeting the target that’s measured on three different parameters such as under-five mortality rate, infant mortality rate and immunization against measles.
On reduction of child mortality, the report said the under-five mortality rate was 151 per 1000 live births in 1990 which came down to 41 per 1000 live births in 2013 and hence achieved the MDG target before the stipulated time. Likewise, the infant mortality rate was 94 per 1000 live births in 1990, which was reduced to 32 per 1000 live births in 2013.
Hence, it is also on the verge of getting to the goal. Towards ensuring environmental sustainability, the report said, at present there is only 13.40 percent of land in Bangladesh having tree cover with density of 30 percent and above and the area having tree cover is much lower than the target set for 2015 (20 percent).
However, access to safe water for all is a challenge, as arsenic and salinity intrusion as a consequence of climate change will exacerbate the availability of safe water, especially for the poor. The programme was also addressed, among others, by UNDP country director Pauline Tamesis. GED Division Chief Naquib Bin Mahbub delivered the address of welcome.

From the IOM.
DG Swing briefs IOM member states on the complex migration flows in the Mediterranean Sea and in Europe: “The use of language is extremely important. We talk of Boat People but don’t talk of Easyjet People.”
He added: “We need to conjugate the paradox between national security and human security when it comes to migrants on the move.”
“More than one hundred fifty attendees gathered on 10 September 2015 at the “Espai Catalunya Europa” in Brussels for a reception to mark the National Day of Catalonia. Diplomats, representatives of European Union institutions, representatives of European regions, journalists and Catalans living in the Brussels took part in the event.Among the attendees, it is worth to highlight the President of the Economic and Social Committee, Henri Malosse, the Head of Mission of the Principality of Andorra to the EU, the Benelux countries and Germany, HE Ambassador Maria Ubach Font (who presented her credentials to The King of the Belgians on 15 September 2015), the Delegate general of Québec, Michel Audet, representatives to the EU of the Spanish state, Flanders, Gibraltar, Brussels, Bavaria, the Canary Islands, Euskadi, Rhône-Alpes, Midi-Pyrénées, Île de France, the Swiss cantons, South-Tyrol and Tyrol–Trentino Euroregion, London, Hamburg and the president of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe Party (ALDE), Sir Graham Watson.The Permanent Representative of the Government to the European Union, Amadeu Altafaj Tardio, addressed some words to the attendees to explain the historical events that Catalans commemorates during the National Day and to explain what the role of Catalonia is today.The Permanent Representative explained Catalans presence in Brussels dates from 1986 “that is the year of Spain’s accession to the European Economic Community but the strong European commitment of Catalonia dates from well before Spain’s accession. It is a commitment to values and principles that are at the heart of the European project.”“Some of these principles seem to be missing or, at least, relativized when addressing the current heart beating migration and refugee crisis” Altajaf said.“The Catalan Government fully supports President Junker’s strong plea yesterday in his State of the Union speech urging member states to reaffirm and to show with facts, not words, their commitment to solidarity, respect of fundamental rights and duties under international law. We have urged the Spanish Government to agree on a responsible distribution of quotas at EU level and to provide all the necessary means for welcoming and integrating these refugees.”Altafaj also stated: “We are not in Brussels only to monitor EU policies and institutions; hence, our duty is to represent, to get involved and to influence developments both in the EU and in Catalonia”.He concluded his speech by saying: “Elections on September 27 will once again show the world that despite all the pressure and difficulties we face, Catalans will continue to embrace the peaceful, civic, inclusive, pro-European and hopeful democratic process in which we have trusted so far.”After the speech, Altafaj raises a cava toast with all attendees to celebrate the National Day of Catalonia.Opening the photography exhibition – “Dalí, breaking news”After the Permanent Representative’s speech, journalist David Álvarez, who is the curator for “Dalí, breaking news”, addressed the attendees to explain some curiosities about the exhibition’s protagonist, Catalan artist Salvador Dalí.Álvarez explained: “Dalí was a multifaceted character. Surrealist paintings is perhaps the reason for which Salvador Dalí is best known, as he was one of the most prominent representatives of this artistic movement. However, Dalí’s cultural inquisitiveness brought him to search art in many parts of the world and he experimented with other artistic disciplines such as sculpture, photography or cinema.”The exhibition can be visited until 29 February 2016 at “Espaj Catalunya Europa. “Dalí, breaking news” highlights the artist’s relationship with mass media and how he was amazingly capable of appearing in all the newspaper’s sections.

In all of these areas, the visitor will get to know more about Dalí and his natural theatricality.Wishing to commemorate the 75th anniversary of EFE news agency, the 40th anniversary of the inauguration of the Dalí Museum in Figueres (Catalonia) and the 25th anniversary of the death of the Salvador Dalí, the Tourism Board Costa Brava-Girona organised this exhibition which shows a unique collection of images from the agency’s photographic archives.For more information:Allocution of Catalonia’s Representative to the EU on the occasion of the National Day 2015: http://afersexteriors.gencat.cat/ca/detalls/noticia/20150910_discursRPUE————-Text and picture by Delegation of Catalonia to the EU

H.E. Mr. Darius Jonas Semaska, Ambassador of Lithuania to the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
The current refugee crisis is moving the world. In Europe, the crisis proved that the continent lacks of preparation for the increasingly rising number of people on its borders. So far, the governments from the EU-states are trying to act in concert in finding fast solutions to deal with the high numbers of arriving migrants.
In the name of the Republic of Lithuania, President Dalia Grybauskaite , declares Lithuania’s support for the refugees: “We stand in compassion and solidarity with those fleeing war”.
As declared by the Ambassador of Lithuania to the Kingdom of the Netherlands HE Darius Jonas Semaska, Lithuania supports the proposal by the European Commission which plans the distribution of asylum seekers over the member states of the EU based on a quota system. According to the quota, Lithuania would need to accept 1105 refugees. Linas Linkevicius, Lithuania’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, calls the proposal “reasonable”.
Lithuania’s prime minister, Algirdas Butkevičius, stresses the importance of cooperation in order to control and solve the refugee crisis: “We will address the current refugee crisis together with the rest of the Community”.
