Kathmandu, Aug. 17
On the occasion of the 79th
Anniversary of the Proclamation of the Independence of the Republic of
Indonesia, the Office of the Honorary Consul of the Republic of Indonesia in
Kathmandu organised the flag hoisting ceremony on Saturday.
Chandra Prasad Dhakal, Honorary Consul of
Indonesia in Nepal, hoisted the red and white flag on Saturday morning at the
Consul’s office at IME Complex in Panipokhari to commemorate the independence
of Indonesia.
Dhakal is the Chairperson of the IME Group
as well as the Federation of Nepalese Chambers of Commerce and Industry.
Diplomatic relations between Indonesia and
Nepal were established in 1960 and since then the relations between the two
countries have always been cordial. To strengthen the relations further and
make them in the interest of both the countries, the Office of the Honorary
Consul of the Republic of Indonesia has been playing a significant role since
the appointment of Dhakal as the Honorary Consul in Nepal, the Consul said in a
statement.
The relations have been strengthening
further between the two countries in terms of the increasing people-to-people
contacts, enhanced engagements, increasing exchange of visits, growing number
of events and promotional activities that have contributed to the increased
trade volumes and values along with the increase in tourist visits.
Indonesia is growing as a large market for
the world and it is also the largest economy in the ASEAN (Association of South
East Asian Nations). Trade volume between Indonesia and Nepal is also high as
the latter is one of the largest trade partners of Nepal.
Because both the countries are endowed with
natural and cultural heritages, tourism in both the countries holds a great
business potential.
