Issuing a statement Saturday, Landgren noted that the Friday night's agreement was possible through intensive dialogue and readiness to compromise and urged the parties to continue in the spirit of compromise and with renewed dedication to the drafting of Nepal's new constitution and finding solutions to peace process commitments, including a dignified and well-planned resolution of the future of the Maoist army personnel.

The UNMIN chief also said her office was ready to provide support in this regard.

It was feared that failure to find consensus on extension of the CA team would mean collapse of the peace process. UNMIN chief Landgren had held a series of top-level political parleys, encouraging the parties to arrive at a consensus on time. nepalnews.com
