Kathmandu, July 25
Foreign Minister Dr. Arzu Rana Deuba has urged
Thai investors to explore opportunities in Nepal’s growing tourism and
hospitality sectors, citing the country’s immense potential in this field.
Speaking at the opening ceremony of the 'Thai
Flavours in the Himalayas' trade fair jointly organised by the Thai Embassy in
Kathmandu and Bhat Bhateni Supermarket in Kathmandu on Friday, she said that tourism
could serve as a common platform for shared prosperity and cooperation.
Stating that Nepal is making strides in
entrepreneurship and that many of its products, such as handicrafts, have
gained attention in the global market, FM Dr. Rana encouraged Thai
entrepreneurs and investors to consider Nepal as a favourable investment
destination.
She also highlighted that Nepal and
Thailand have many cultural similarities.
She noted the longstanding historical ties
between the two nations and emphasised the shared cultural values across
various sectors.
FM Dr. Rana highlighted on mutual
traditions of hospitality, respect for multi-religious and multicultural
values, tolerance, and the potential for prosperity through tourism.
She also recalled that both Nepal and
Thailand are independent and sovereign nations that have never been colonised.
Referring to Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli’s recent visit to Thailand, she said,
“Several agreements were reached at both government and private sector levels
during the visit. I hope that such high-level exchanges would continue in the
future to strengthen bilateral relations.”
Meanwhile, the Government of Nepal has
expressed condolences to the government and the people of Russia, and
especially to the bereaved families who have lost their loved ones in this
devastating plane crash.
“The GoN is deeply saddened to learn of the
tragic plane crash that occurred in the far-eastern Amur region of the Russian
Federation on July 25. Our thoughts and prayers are with them in this time of
grief,” the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement on Friday.
