“He stresses the importance of dialogue and non-violence as well as respect for peaceful protest and freedom of assembly,” said Dujarric.
“The Secretary-General welcomes the decision of the political parties to temporarily pause the constitution voting process. He urges all stakeholders to use this opportunity to engage in meaningful dialogue,” he added.
