The significance of declaring Nepal as a Peace Zone has escalated, according to Pushpa Kamal Dahal, Chairman of the Nepal Communist Party (Maoist Centre) and former Prime Minister.
Dahal highlighted this during the announcement of the Peace Zone campaign, which was initiated from the grassroots level. He stated that due to the complex and conflict-ridden global political scenario, it’s time to push the proposal of Nepal as a Peace Zone to protect the country’s national sovereignty and independence.
He mentioned that this proposal could now become a significant ‘agenda’ to save the country. He explained that although in the past, there were mixed opinions about this proposal due to the political situation of the time, the changed political scenario and the global situation have increased the importance of declaring Nepal as a Peace Zone to protect national independence.
Dahal, who is currently preparing for the Central Committee meeting, also informed that the meeting could also take this proposal in a more concrete form. He highlighted the need to present this region as a Peace Zone, making Lumbini, the birthplace of Lord Buddha, the main base for world peace. He also stated that the public debate on this issue has been positive.
He also expressed his party’s commitment to support this campaign. He also stated that his party would clearly outline its stance on this issue.
