Prime Minister (PM) KP Sharma Oli has been staying at the presidential suite of Soaltee Crowne Plaza since Friday along with the guests here in Nepal for the ongoing Asia Pacific Summit that he inaugurated at Hyatt Regency Hotel on Saturday. State Counsellor of Myanmar Aung San Suu Kyi, Cambodian PM Hun Sen, Philippine Vice-president Leni Robredo, and heads of state of Vanuatu, Tuvalu and Nauru are also staying at Soaltee. The other guests have been kept at Hyatt, where the summit is being held, and Dwarika's Hotel. The PM's Secretariat said PM Oli is staying at the hotel to ensure that there is no problem in commuting. "PM is scheduled to meet many guests. PM is staying at hotel to ensure that there is no problem in traffic movement for the public due to their commute," PM's foreign affairs advisor Rajan Bhattarai said. Commoners of Soaltee Mode, on the other hand, are having problems to even walk during the movement of guests here for the summit. Traffic police stop people from even crossing the road 10 minutes before the dignitaries commute. Those who have to cross the road have to wait till the motorcade pass. While traffic police stopped people from crossing the road on other days, they prohibited people from even walking on the pavement on Sunday for around two minutes. "Don't move for a while. Do stand still," the traffic police personnel could be heard instructing the passers-by.
