The second round of peace talks between the Nepali government and the guerrillas will take up major political agendas including the formation of an interim government containing the guerrillas, two ministers said Saturday.

Speaking at a program in the capital, Minister for Culture Tourism and Civil Aviation, Pradip Gyawali, who is part of the three member government talks team, said, the next round of peace talks will focus on guerrilla's arms management, truce monitoring and formation of an interim government that includes the guerrillas.

The minister, however, did not give a timeframe for the second round of talks.

Gyawali also revealed that the cabinet is holding discussions on how to bring the guerrillas into the government.

He admitted that the government could not move ahead accommodating the guerrillas at the moment due to "some work" that needed to be accomplished first.

"As serious homework is underway, the second round of the government-guerrilla talks is delayed," the minister said.

He also informed that the government was working on the release of some 300 guerrilla prisoners to make the talks environment conducive.

Meanwhile, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs, K.P. Sharma Oli said that the government is preparing to bring the guerrillas into the government soon.

Saying that the next round of peace talks will be held soon, Oli claimed that the delay in talks was not due to the government.
