Foreign Minister to lead NRNA convention organising committee

Kathmandu, Aug 20

A high-level organising committee is formed in the leadership of the Minister for Foreign Affairs for the organisation of the 10th World Convention of Non-Resident Nepali Association (NRNA) which is slated for 23-25 October 2021 in Kathmandu.

However, the government is yet to have the Foreign Affairs Minister.

The organising committee will have a member of the National Planning Commission, Secretary of the Prime Minister’s Office, Foreign Secretary, secretaries of other ministries, and high officials from Investment Board of Nepal, Nepal Rastra Bank, Federation of Nepalese Chambers of Commerce and Industry, Confederation of Nepalese Industries, Nepal Chamber of Commerce, NRNA and other concerned agencies.

Issuing a statement on Friday, Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that the government has accorded high priority to mobilising knowledge, skill, capital, technology, network and access of Nepalis residing in foreign countries in socio-economic development in Nepal.

The world convention is organised every two years and the last convention was organised in Kathmandu in October 2019.
