August 28, 2003

  1. It is regrettable that on August 27 the Maoists announced to withdraw from the peace talks and to terminate the cease-fire agreement with the Government of the Kingdom of Nepal. The Government of Japan requests the Maoists to continue to comply with the cease-fire agreement and to resume the peace talks.

  2. The Government of Japan also urges all the groups concerned to cooperate closely with each other for the sake of the welfare of the people of Nepal with a view to achieving a peaceful resolution based upon the principle of democracy.
