UN welcomes democratic progress in Nepal

New York - UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon expressed satisfaction that political parties in Nepal have agreed on key issues to allow legislative elections next year, a spokesperson said Wednesday. Ban said the Seven-Party Alliance has reached an agreement on key issues of the peace process, paving the way for a Constituent Assembly election in April, 2008. He also welcomed the decision by the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) to rejoin the Interim Government. 'The secretary general urges all parties to swiftly move forward in the implementation of the agreements reached and lay the grounds for a peaceful, inclusive, and credible Constituent Assembly election,' said Michelle Montas. She said the UN mission in Nepal stands ready to assist the democratic process and provide all necessary assistance. © 2007 dpa - Deutsche Presse-Agentur
