Kathmandu, May 25
President of the Federation of Nepalese Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FNCCI), Chandra Prasad Dhakal, has sought the support of development partners in formulating the strategy in managing the current economic crisis, creating an investment-friendly environment, developing skilled manpower and creating more jobs.
He proposed a deeper cooperation
between the business community and development partners during a meeting with
Hanaa Singer-Hamdy, the UN Resident Coordinator for Nepal, at the FNCCI
secretariat on Thursday.
The Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs) and cooperation in minimising the impact of Nepal's graduation from the
Least Developed Countries (LDCs) on business were the key agenda of discussion.
There was also a discussion for capacity enhancement of small and medium
enterprises, production of skilled manpower, cooperation with the private
sector and the government.
Dhakal stated that the FNCCI
could be a close partner of the government and the UN in achieving sustainable
development goals because it has a strong network throughout the nation and a
structure that can reach the grassroots level.
On the occasion, Singer-Hamdy
said that she took the issues raised by the president of FNCCI very seriously.
She said that the SDGs and
upgrading LDCs are a matter of special interest. She said that the private
sector, government and the United Nations can cooperate while preparing a
strategy to facilitate the graduation.
