The historic peace agreement of November, 2006 in Nepal has been signed between which of the followings ?
Explanation
The historic peace agreement of November 2006, officially known as the Comprehensive Peace Accord (CPA), was signed between the Government of Nepal (represented by the Seven Party Alliance or SPA) and the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) [t1][t7]. Following King Gyanendra's authoritarian takeover in 2005, the SPA and the Maoists formed a political partnership to restore democracy [t9]. The agreement, signed on November 21, 2006, by Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala (representing the SPA-led government) and Maoist chairman Prachanda, effectively ended the decade-long armed insurgency [t3][t10]. While the King had previously relinquished power in April 2006 due to mass protests, he was not a signatory to this specific peace accord, which aimed to transition Nepal into a democratic republic through a Constituent Assembly [t1][t5].
