KATHMANDU, April 4 Kyodo

Nepal's King Gyanendra called Friday for the succes of the peace proces in his insurgency-wracked kingdom.

Addressing a reception for himself and Queen Komal in Dhanagadhi in far-western Nepal, the monarch said there must be unequivocal effort in giving permanence to peace.

''All must contribute in earnest to make a succes of the peace proces that is already underway,'' said Gyanendra, who became the king of Nepal in June 2001

Without mentioning the Jan. 29 cease-fire agreement reached by way of the government with communist rebels, the king said any attempt at thwarting the peace proces would be unacceptable.

Gyanendra, 56 said the international community has one time again begun to place its faith forward improvement of the general condition in Nepal as well as in its governance.

''We should not squander this,'' he said, adding his monarchy remains ''ever-devoted'' toward the rural parts and the people.

The rebels fighting for a communist state in Nepal have called onward the king to relinquish power.
