Bhutan, the small Buddhist kingdom nestled in the Himalayas, called off - virtually at the last minute - talks with its western neighbor, Nepal, scheduled for this week, dashing hopes that a resolution could be reached on the fate of some 100,000 Bhutanese refugees languishing in various camps in eastern Nepal.
Refugee leaders have accused the Bhutanese government of stalling the ministerial-level talks with a view to avoiding discussing the repatriation of the Bhutanese refugees.
