KATHMANDU: Vice President Ram Sahay Prasad Yadav has expressed the belief that a strong and deeper unity within the Nepali social diversity would help in further strengthening the national spirit of Nepal.
Extending best wishes on the occasion of Sonam Lhosar today, he said that this festival, which is a cultural heritage, should be celebrated as a symbol of identity and self-respect of all Nepalis.
