Kathmandu, July 24
Roberto Suárez Santos, Secretary-General of
the International Organisation of Employers (IOE), has appreciated the
Federation of Nepalese Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FNCCI) for its
efforts in fostering harmonious industrial relations in Nepal.
He is in Nepal on a three-day visit at the
invitation of FNCCI President Chandra Prasad Dhakal.
Speaking at a meeting with the FNCCI
officials on Thursday, he praised the federation’s contributions to minimum
wage negotiations, social security reforms, and formalisation of the labour
sector, calling them exemplary.
Likewise, Dhakal highlighted the importance
of IOE's support as Nepal prepares to graduate from Least Developed Country
(LDC) status in 2026. “We face both opportunities and challenges. We look to
the IOE for global advocacy, knowledge sharing, and continued collaboration,”
he said.
Santos reaffirmed IOE’s commitment to
supporting Nepal during its economic transition and noted that FNCCI’s efforts
in employer-worker relations serve as a model for others.
FNCCI Vice Presidents Hem Raj Dhakal and
Jyotsna Shrestha, along with other officials, shared views on strengthening
Nepal’s industrial environment. Founded in 1920, the IOE represents over 150
employer organisations globally, with FNCCI as its member in Nepal.
