Nepal's Leaders Unite to Advance Peace Process with New Selection Committee

Nepal's key political leaders agreed to form a selection committee to recommend chiefs for the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and Transitional Justice Commission, aiming to finalize the peace process stemming from the 2006 Comprehensive Peace Agreement. The meeting included the Prime Minister and leaders from major political parties.

In a crucial move towards finalizing Nepal's peace process, top leaders from three major political parties convened to form a selection committee. This committee is tasked with recommending chiefs for the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and the Transitional Justice Commission.

The decision emerged from a high-level meeting at the Prime Minister's Office in Singhdurbar, attended by Prime Minister K P Sharma Oli, Nepali Congress president Sher Bahadur Deuba, and CPN-Maoist Centre leader Pushpakamal Dahal 'Prachanda', among others.

The formation of the committee marks a significant step in completing the ongoing peace process, which originated from the Comprehensive Peace Agreement signed in 2006. The leaders focused on resolving outstanding issues to conclude the decade-long Maoist insurgency peace process.
