UN Mission To Nepal Expresses Optimism On Peace Negotiations
Siddique Islam - All Headline News Foreign Correspondent Kathmandu, Nepal (AHN) - The leader of a high-level United Nations delegation visiting Nepal exploring the idea of possible UN assistance to that country's peace process on Tuesday said he was hopeful that the Nepalese government and the nation's Communist party could reach an agreement on arms management in the coming days. Staffan de Mistura told reporters that he was "confident" and "optimistic" that a common understanding could be achieved before the mission returns to New York on Thursday. Meanwhile, the delegation continued its intensive consultations and also traveled outside of the capital Kathmandu for the first time, enabling the team to gain a fuller understanding of the situation on the ground. The mission includes staff with expertise in peace processes in other countries around the world, and across a range of disciplines. Last week delegates met with Communist Party leaders, as well as Nepalese ministers and senior figures from the country's military.
