PM Koirala and the UN envoy are said to have discussed about the world body’s offer to mediate in the Nepal’s peace process.

Tamrat had after a meeting with Deputy Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli on Sunday said that the UN was ready to extend any help in the peace process. He, however, said it would be “too early to discuss” the UN role in arms management in Nepal.

He has already held discussions with CPN (UML) general secretary Madhav Kumar Nepal, Home Minister KP Sitaula and senior officials at the UN office in Kathmandu over the current situation in Nepal.

The UN envoy, who has already visited Nepal several times in the past as the special representative of UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, arrived in Kathmandu on Saturday on a 10-day visit.
