The
European Union together with Norway and Switzerland, State Department, US and
Japan hailed the landmark peace deal signed between Nepal’s major political
parties on Tuesday evening.
"The signing of the seven-point agreement
resolves many of the long-outstanding issues in Nepal’s peace process. As
friends and partners in Nepal's development process we welcome the fresh
consensus among the political parties, which we hope will help fully implement
the Comprehensive Peace Accord,” a statement released by the EU on Wednesday
read.
We encourage the government and all the
political parties to now give high priority to the implementation of the
agreement, including the drafting of a new democratic and inclusive constitution,
which aims at ensuring lasting peace and stability in Nepal, the statement
further read.
"We welcome the flexibility of all sides
that has allowed progress on the integration and rehabilitation of former
Maoist combatants," it added.
The European Union, Norway and Switzerland
pledge their continued commitment and full support to the peace process, State
Department spokesperson Victoria Nuland said in the statement.
"We encourage all those involved to
implement these agreements. The United States remains committed to supporting
the ongoing peace process as appropriate," the spokesperson added,
"We commend all parties for their statesmanship and leadership in forging
this consensus, which we believe is a crucial step toward ensuring a democratic,
stable, and prosperous future for Nepal."
Likewise, Japan also hailed the peace deal and
extended its heartfelt congratulations to the major political parties in Nepal
on reaching a historic seven-point agreement on the peace process, constitution
writing, and the process of formulating a national consensus government.
"The agreement is the clear embodiment of
the constructive spirit of mutual understanding among political leaders and
symbolizes a major breakthrough towards achieving the aspirations of the people
of Nepal. Japan sincerely wishes that this agreement be implemented as per the
agreed schedule through the continued efforts of the political parties; and
thus, the people of Nepal will be able to celebrate the 5th Anniversary of the
signing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement with renewed aspirations," a
statement released by the Japanese embassy read.
