According to Finance Minister Dr. Khatiwada, the delegation expressed interest and concern over people’s expectation, service delivery and capacity building. The team, as he argued, lauded the ministry leadership.

It was shared at the meeting that Nepal was put in priority in view of the impact of WB’s assistance, its past checkered with conflict and transitional politics, and the current need for the implementation of federalism.
