KATHMANDU: The Embassy of Nepal in Dhaka organized a pre-event seminar, laying the groundwork for the upcoming Third Nepal Investment Summit 2024.

During the seminar, Nepal’s Ambassador to Bangladesh, Ghanashyam Bhandari, encouraged Bangladeshi investors to explore lucrative opportunities in Nepal’s key sectors, including hydropower, infrastructure, hospitality, pharmaceuticals, and information technology.

State Minister of Power, Energy, and Mineral Resources of Bangladesh, Nasrul Hamid, echoed Bhandari’s sentiments, underscoring the significant investment potential in Nepal.

He expressed Bangladesh’s eagerness to bolster investment ties with Nepal, particularly in energy cooperation, given Nepal’s vast hydropower potential and Bangladesh’s escalating energy demands.

Joint Secretary of Investment Board Nepal, Babu Raj Adhikari, provided comprehensive updates on the forthcoming Summit, highlighting its significance in attracting investments to Nepal.

Additionally, video messages from Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ and Finance Minister Barsha Man Pun were presented, underlining the government’s commitment to promoting investment and economic growth.
