Carter’s visit is aimed at “encouraging Nepal’s political leaders to make sustained effort toward peace and to achieve a climate in which a constituent assembly election can be held”, a statement issued by the Centre said.

The former US President will lead a delegation that will include Jeff Carter, the assistant project director of Carter’s Conflict Resolution Program; Ambassador A. Peter who is the Centre’s senior advisor; Dr David Pottie, associate director of the Centre’s Democracy Program; and Darren Nance, Centre’s Nepal director.

During his stay here, Carter will meet with political leaders, senior government officials, election commissioners and representatives of the civil society organisations and marginalised groups.

This will be Carter’s third visit of Nepal.. He had visited Nepal in June this year and had held extensive interaction with political leaders including the Maoist leadership and representatives of various groups.

The Carter Centre, a global agency co-founded by Carter in 1982 which works for peace and democracy, has deployed its election monitors in Nepal after a request from the Nepal government. Its election teams have been stationed in all the five development regions.

The former US President, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002, is visiting Nepal amidst deepening political crisis with the parties failing to arrive at a compromise on the recent decisions of the interim parliament to announce republic and adopt proportional election system.
