May 26, Kathmandu: Newly appointed ambassadors of Nepal to different countries have said that they will be taking the responsibility of marketing for Nepal in the countries where they have been designated. The envoys expressed these views during an interaction with officials of the Confederation of Nepalese Industries (CNI) on May 25.

 The Government of Nepal had appointed Prof. Dr   Choplal Bhusal as the Ambassador of Nepal to Bangladesh, Bhimkumar Udas as Ambassador of Nepal to Myanmar, Prof. Dr Mahendra Prasad Singh as Ambassador of Nepal to Saudi Arabia and Bharat Bahadur Rayamajhi as Ambassador of Nepal to Spain. All the ambassadors expressed their interest to improve Nepal's economic relations with the respective countries .

Satish Kumar Mor, Acting President of CNI said that Nepal needs to work on tourism business with these countries as it is expanding its relations in terms of economic and social aspects with them. 

Krishna Prasad Adhikari, Vice-President of CNI said that there are a lot of things yet to be done regarding trade and transit with Bangladesh. So, he requested Ambassador Bhusal to help in such issues.  "It would be easier to bring investment from Bangladesh if we worked on transit route and electricity transmission lines," he said.

Another Vice-President of CNI Vishnu Kumar Agrawal said that the government should focus on economic diplomacy to attract investment and to work in expansion of trade and tourism.

Similarly, Nirvana Chaudhary, another vice-president of CNI said that it is necessary to coordinate with the government institutions and business sector for partnership expansion in business and entrepreneurship with the respective countries.

 Despite many opportunities and possibilities, Nepal lacks proper marketisation. Due to this, we are not able to carry on our exports as expected and expand our tourism business. Therefore, the CNI officials requested the newly appointed representatives of Nepal to use all their resources to help in Nepal's economic growth.
