On that occasion, Chinese President Xi Jinping welcomed the heads of state/government present at the ceremony.

After the parade, PM Oli attended the luncheon organized by Chinese President Xi.

During the China visit, the Prime Minister held a separate meeting with world leaders including the Chinese President, his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi and Russia's President Vladimir Putin.

The House of Representatives (HoR) today received the report on the Federal Civil Service Bill, along with a message from the National Assembly (NA) regarding its amendments. 

The Bill is crucial for the implementation of administrative federalism in the country.

Eakram Giri, Spokesperson for the Federal Parliament Secretariat, confirmed that the lower house received the Bill along with the National Assembly's message and proposed amendments earlier today.

The Bill, which had originated in the HoR, was forwarded to the National Assembly two months ago, in line with constitutional procedures. 

According to the Constitution, the NA shall return the Bill to the HoR within two months.

Now, the HoR will deliberate only on the provisions amended by the NA. 

A proposal will be tabled in the lower house to consider the Bill. 

The HoR may then choose to accept the amendments in full, accept them partially, or reject them altogether.

In the previous practice, the suggestions received from the National Assembly were generally accepted and taken ahead.

Unless the Speaker directs otherwise, the meeting of the House of Representatives will discuss and present for decision the amendments after 24 hours of being tabled.

If deemed necessary by the House, there can be a discussion on the amendments received from the National Assembly. 

The bill that was finalized after a lengthy discussion in the legislation management committee was passed by the National Assembly yesterday.

The issue regarding the 'cooling period' of having to wait two years for appointment to constitutional bodies after employee retirement has been somewhat complicated for a long time.

The National Assembly has approved the provision regarding the cooling period, which had been thoroughly discussed in the State Affairs Committee of the House of Representatives, but had been missing.

According to the agreement reached in the committee, the bill passed by the Upper House provision has been made for a mandatory retirement system for employees due to age limit, according to which the employee will go into retirement at age 58 for the year the bill is passed and certified, at age 59 the next year and at age 60 from the third year. 

The bill includes provisions for transfer of employees between provinces and local levels, as well as for their rank and levels.
