KATMANDU, Nepal — The government and communist rebels concluded a first round of peace talks Friday, agreeing to continue negotiations but setting no firm date, negotiators for both sides said.
In the meeting, which lasted nearly six hours, the two sides agreed on a 25-point code of conduct to be followed as they continue the talks, rebel spokesman Krishna Mahara and Home Minister Krishna Situala said.
The agreement says that neither side will provoke violence and that both will halt attacks, military recruitment and fundraising.
