Bhutanese refugee leaders submitted a 12-point memorandum on August 18, to Finance Minister Ram Sharan Mahat who is to lead Nepal’s delegation for the 11th round of bilateral talks with Bhutan on the refugee problem. The talks are scheduled to begin from August 20 in Kathmandu. Issuing a press statement on August 18 in Kathmandu, refugee leaders expressed concern over the slow pace of the verification exercise being carried out by the Joint Verification Team (JVT) in the past three months. The statement demanded that the JVT’s quicken the pace by verifying at least 50 families a day instead of the ten families being verified each day currently. Similarly, the Statement demanded that the two governments should publicly announce the status of the 5,957 refugees whose verification process is over. The Statement also called on the Nepalese government to form a task-force and an appeal court to decide on the problems of those refugees not verified as Bhutanese citizens. It further requested the government to seek a clarification from Bhutan on the ban imposed on refugees’ return. The Bhutanese National Assembly (Tshogdu) is reported to have imposed such a ban during recent deliberations.

Nepalese sources, on August 21, indicated that Bhutan has not favoured a proposal to speed up the existing verification process of Bhutanese refugees of Nepalese origin presently residing in Nepalese refugee camps. This was reportedly disclosed by Nepalese Finance Minister Dr. Ram Sharan Mahat, who is heading his country’s delegation in the 11th Ministerial Joint Committee (MJC) meeting with Bhutan which began on August 20 in Thimpu. Dr. Mahat was reported by Nepalese media as saying that Bhutan has "…shown the inclination to carry on with the slow (verification) process for now." However, Bhutan’s Foreign Minister and head of his country’s delegation, Jigme Y. Thinley is reported to have told Nepalese media that Bhutan did agree theoretically with Nepal for the acceleration of the verification process. "We also agreed to simplify the verification and also to expedite the entire process", he added. He also denied that the verification of the refugees is going on too slowly saying that "…in this humanitarian issue we cannot define what is fast. No matter how faster we verify the refugees, it may still not be fast enough."
