UNITED NATIONS, Sept. 7 (Xinhua) -- The UN Department of Political Affairs on Friday marked the official closure of its Nepal Liaison Office, the UN spokesperson's office said.

For the past two decades, the UN has accompanied the government and Nepali leaders on the county's pathway to peace, it added.
"The UN is committed to continuing to work with Nepali political leaders and civil society on consolidating the peace agenda, including on broader human rights and development goals, towards a future of sustained peace and prosperity," it said.
