The Secretary-General - Opeing Remarks At The Press Conference, Kathmandu, 1 November 2008
|
UN has been a close partner in Nepal's development effort, in its struggle to end the 10-year conflict and to implement the 2006 Comprehensive Peace Agreement. The UN Peacebuilding Fund, for example, has released ten million dollars to the UN Peace Fund for Nepal. This money will finance local peace building programmes. It will also help to reintegrate former combatants, generate youth employment and put other measures in place. The concerted actions of the political parties together with civil society and other stakeholders were vital in bringing about the uniquely Nepali driven political and social transformation. The Assembly is proof of Nepal’s remarkable progress and collective effort towards a new and better future. Nepal has come a long way, but the journey continues, as there are still a number of challenges to overcome. The people of Nepal have taken a stand for democracy and it would be especially inspiring for the entire world to see Nepal, which already makes such a tremendous difference in peacekeeping for others, overcome its own conflict and achieve lasting peace at home.
