Press realese form the office of Nepalese Americas Council ( NAC) Jan 30, 2003.

The Nepalese Americas Council ( NAC), a coordinating body for Nepali organizations representing the Nepali diaspora across North America heartily welcomes the peace initiative taken by HMG of Nepal and the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist).

Nepalese living in the North America feel that the peace in Nepal is an absolute prerequisite for further development. Peace is also a fundamental leveling ground which could pave a way towards participatory politics for Nepal.

In these context NAC truly believes that the path to peace is the right path for every fellow Nepali. NAC wishes the negotiating parties all the best and hopes for an early resolution of the issues dividing them.

Gaury S Adhikary
President,
Nepalese Americas Council
