Lynn Pascoe, will visit Nepal next month to monitor the progress made by the country, especially on the agreement between the government and the Maoists.AIR Kathmandu Correspondent reports that the UN Security Council has recently extended the mandate of its mission in Nepal until January 15 2011. The UN Security Council extended UNMIN's mandate for four months on 15th of this month on the basis of the request of the Nepal government following a four- point agreement reached between the government and the opposition Maoists. The Security Council has asked UN Chief Ban Ki-moon to report on the implementation of the four-point pact by Oct 15. The UN body has welcomed the agreement that it said has created even greater expectations that the parties will make rapid and significant headway. The UN mission described the agreement as a reflection of the parties’ ability to consult and agree on critical issues that will lead to early progress in the peace process. The Security Council has repeated its call to the political parties to implement an action plan on integrating and rehabilitating the Maoist army with a 'timetable and clear benchmarks'.
