KATHMANDU, Aug 25: Resident Coordinator of the United Nations in Nepal Jamie McGoldrick has lauded the completion of the integration of the former Maoist combatants into the Nepal Army and congratulated the Nepali people, political parties, the government and the Nepal Army for this step.



Issuing a statement on Monday, McGoldrick urges all actors to strengthen the conducive environment for the election and to increase the momentum to implement the outstanding commitments of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement, including constitution drafting and setting up of transitional justice mechanisms.



"Today I attended the Commissioning Parade of Officer Cadet Induction Basic Course at the Nepalese Military Academy of the Nepal Army at Kharipati, Bhaktapur," said McGoldrick said. "It marks a milestone in the Nepali peace process that began with the signing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement in presence of the UN in November 2006." He reaffirmed the continued commitment of the United Nations to cooperate closely with Nepal in support of progress in the peace process.
