They're talking again-for the eleventh time. The Bhutanese government has agreed to hold further ministerial level talks with Nepal in Thimpu at the end of July regarding the repatriation of the approximately 100,000 Bhutanese refugees in eastern Nepal. Foreign Minister Chakra Prasad Bastola requested the meeting to discuss ways to speed up the refugee verification procedure. Minister Bastola will propose appointing different verification teams for individual refugee camps in Jhapa and Morang. The joint verification team (JVT) started work in March this year at Khudunabari in Jhapa. The JVT's planned to start by verifying ten families a day, and gradually increase the number. But the team has not yet delivered-in the three months since they began, it has completed the verification procedure for under 600 families. There are over 15,000 Bhutanese families in camps in Morang and Jhapa, and if the procedure does not pick up speed, it will take more than three years to complete the task.
