UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon hailed on Wednesday the "historic" first meeting of Nepal's Constituent Assembly.
"The secretary-general congratulates the Nepalese people on the historic first meeting of the Constituent Assembly," Ban said in a statement issued by his spokesperson.
"The people of Nepal have clearly spoken for peace and change through the 10 April Assembly election," the UN chief said, urging all parties to "continue working in a cooperative manner and to form a new government as soon as possible."
Nepal's Constituent Assembly decided on Wednesday night to declare Nepal a republic and abolish the country's monarchy system.
