FNCCI pledges support to govts in fight against COVID

Kathmandu, Aug 14

The Federation of Nepalese Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FNCCI) on Friday pledged its support to all levels of governments – federal, state and local – in their initiatives to fight against the coronavirus pandemic.

It has assured the governments that its bodies and members would extend the support as per their capacity to the efforts being made to prevent the spread of virus.

Saying that the first priority was life during the sensitive period like the COVID-19, the business body appealed to its members to contribute to the fight against the coronavirus pandemic not just relying on the government efforts rather collaborating with the latter.

"All governments are untiringly working to prevent the spread of the virus and treat the patients across the country. This unique situation demands a high social responsibility from the business community to the society," said the FNCCI in a statement. "There is an urgent need that we support the government to make the programme, plans and activities announced and implemented successful," it added.

It has urged the business people as well as the common people to strictly follow the health protocols to stay safe from the virus.

The FNCCI has also expressed serious concerns over the damages the coronavirus pandemic inflicted to the economy.
