United Nations : India and China have been extremely supportive of the peace process in Nepal with the two countries providing a great deal of assistance to the preparations for the Constituent Assembly elections there, a top UN official has said.
Both countries had lent a great deal of support to the preparations for the Constituent Assembly elections in Nepal, which have now been postponed indefinitely following a government-Maoist standoff, UN Secretary General’s Special Envoy Ian Martin told reporters here Friday.
The two countries were extremely supportive of the peace process in Nepal, he said responding to a question about the involvement of India and China in the Himalayan state’s peace process.
He underlined that technical preparations for the polls, which were earlier scheduled for November 22, had been on track and were being managed by an Election Commission that had been widely recognised for its competence and integrity.
It was a positive situation that no real tensions existed amongst neighbours or member states regarding the peace process, he said and emphasised that the UN Security Council was unanimously supportive of United Nations Mission in Nepal.
