PM hopeful of UN support to conclude peace process

Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal has expressed his belief that the United Nations would help Nepal to conclude the peace process.

In a brief conversation with the media after the address by the United Nations Secretary General António Guterres to the joint meeting of the Federal Parliament earlier today, Prime Minister Dahal expressed the confidence that the UN as well as the international community would continue to help conclude the peace process in Nepal. "The opinion of the international community and Secretary General Guterres towards Nepal's peace process is positive," he said.

Similarly, CPN-UML Chairman KP Sharma Oli appreciated Secretary General Guterres' speech in the House on Nepal's peace process, poverty, climate change and other issues.

Stating that the UNSG Guterres has correctly evaluated Nepal, he said it is admirable to note that developed countries should help poor countries like Nepal on issues such as climate change.
