Nepal is celebrating its 7th Federal Republic Day on May 28, 2014, which commemorates the historic first meeting of the Constituent Assembly that endorsed a proposal to amend the interim constitution implementing the declaration of Nepal as a Federal Democratic Republic.
The monarchy ruled Nepal for 240 years until it was overthrown and replaced by Constituent Assembly. As a republic, Nepal is in its early stages, and the 7th Republic Day will be celebrated with cultural performances, civic parades and military participation in Kathmandu.
