Dialogue is essential to find an amicable solution out of the present chaos. We Nepalese should not waste valuable time by discussing trivial matters. Instead, we should unite for a joint effort for peace. Peace should prevail at any cost.
The Nepalese people still remembering how King Birendra gave logic to this idea in a speech delivered at the Algiers Non-aligned Summit as, "I also wish to declare that in making a proposition for the Zone of Peace, we are not prompted out of fear or threat from any country or quarter". As heirs to a country that has always lived in independence we wish to see that our freedom and independence shall not be thwarted by the changing flux of time, when understanding is replaced by misunderstanding, when conciliation is replaced by belligerency and war. It is with such a perspective view of the future that with the help of our friends we seek peace." The proposal of Peace Zone, has been extensively prompted towards peace and betterment of Nepal.
Nepal adheres to the policy of non-alignment because Nepal believes that it brightens the prospects of peace. We all Nepalese follow and respect this policy and try to strengthen peace.
Nepal's Peace Zone Proposal is aspirations of the United Nations and the principles of international law. Five points that are the tenets of Peace Zone Proposal, were unflinching support of Nepal's foreign policy of non-alignment and peaceful coexistence; internal security and political stability; uninterrupted process of all-round development of economy and mobilisation of internal resources of Nepal; good relations with neighbouring and other friendly countries based on principles of Panchsheel and of Bagdung Conference of 1965.
Nepal believes in the five holy principles of "Panchasheel" - non-interference, non-alignment, peaceful co-existence, friendship and peaceful settlement. Nepal does not interfere or align with other countries in aggression, but it tries to foster the friendly relationship through peace and harmony.
It is essential that all the institutions established by the Constitution be effectively strengthened to consolidate democracy. Unless people in Nepal's villages and towns do not feel empowered through resources available to them for education, threats to peace and democracy will always be there.
No nation makes any headway if the extreme leftist or rightist views predominate, as they blindly resort to their own die-hard analyses. The silent majority must never be forgotten. Where common people are sovereign, their voice, their needs and their aspirations must be respected first and foremost.
To promote a permanent peace and respect for diversity through citizen participation in programs that develop a consensus around peace issues. To contribute to the definition of a permanent national peace policy through action, ideas and research aimed at the construction of a society based on policies of social justice and sustainable, humane development.
The government-Maoists talks should be in the interest of the nation or else the country would have to bear huge damages. Dialogue and peace are the need of the day. The movement begun against injustice and corruption by political parties should lead to peaceful talks at the round table conference, success for the cease-fire and peace talks and every citizen should play a facilitating role in ensuring success of the dialogue.
In politics there is no permanent enemy and friend. It is changing consistent with the changing patterns in political behaviour. National interest should prevail at any cost. Negotiation is only one of many ways that organizations and societies deal with conflicts. A country requires political stability.
