Political analysts and experts in peace education have urged all for serious efforts to establish lasting peace, inclusive of democratic system, in the country.

Addressing the concluding ceremony of a five-day long training on Systemic Conflict Transformation for Peace Communicators on Thursday, Joergen Erik Klussmann, a German expert on peace education, emphasised that impartial and realistic assessment of conflict related issues is vital for bringing about ‘positive peace’.

He also further said that as different dynamics regarding the family system, community system and national system exist in the society, permanent peace could be achieved only after the need for peace is perceived at the individual level.

Citing various models of peace such as ‘imperial peace’, ‘hegemonic peace’ and ‘democratic peace’ accepted by nations around the world, political analyst Dev Raj Dahal said, “Only democratic peace can drive the nation to the path of development.”

22 persons from different fields participated in the training organized by Friedrich Ebert Stiftung, Nepal.
