Lord Malloch-Brown said:
"The UK warmly congratulates the people of Nepal on the
successful conduct of the first session of the Constituent
Assembly. This is another step towards the democratic and stable
future that the people of Nepal justly deserve.
I look forward to the Constituent Assembly beginning its work of
drafting a constitution that reflects the needs of the people and
that will guide Nepal in the years to come. I urge all parties to
respect the mandate given to them following elections in April and
to continue working in the spirit of their previous agreements
during this important period of forming a new government and
establishing the Constituent Assembly."
