Kathmandu, June 15
Nepal Chamber Expo 2022 is kicking
off from Thursday at Bhrikutimandap in Kathmandu. Prime Minister Sher Bahadur
Deuba is scheduled to inaugurate the fifth edition of the trade fair to be organised
by Nepal Chamber of Commerce (NCC).
This is the first expo after
the COVID-19 pandemic. NCC hopes that the expo will help boost economic
activity and promote indigenous products.
The fifth edition of the
expo emphasises trade interaction, exchange of import and export information
and marketing of Nepali products.
According to the organisers,
direct participation of the international business community in the chamber
expo would provide the Nepali entrepreneurs an opportunity to observe economic
activities taking place in the international arena, use of new technologies and
new dimensions of trade management.
The exhibition is expected
to give priority to the use of quality goods and to increase public awareness
about consumer interest. It is believed that the expo will also help in
increasing the export.
The NCC said that domestic
and indigenous products as well as agricultural and herbal products,
electronics, garments and textiles, leather products, cosmetics, food and dairy
products will be exhibited and sold at the fair.
Bangladesh is a partner
country in the international fair organised in collaboration with the Ministry
of Industry, Commerce and Supplies and Trade and Export Promotion Centre. There
will be more than 150 stalls in the fair from Nepal, India, Pakistan,
Bangladesh and other countries.
Rajendra Malla, President of
NCC, said that the international expo was organised with the participation of
various nations with the objective of activating the economy weakened by the COVID-19
pandemic.
According to Malla, the main
objective of the international fair is to market Nepali products and create a
dynamic economic environment by involving the international business community.
