Kathmandu, Dec. 3
Foreign Secretary Amrit Bahadur Rai has called
for robust global solidarity and ambitious partnership for smooth, sustained,
and irreversible graduation of the Least Developed Countries (LDCs).
Delivering his opening remarks at the
High-level Meeting on 'Forging Ambitious Global Partnerships for Sustainable
and Resilient Graduation of Least Developed Countries' on Tuesday in Doha of
Qatar, he underscored the persistent challenges facing the LDCs.
According to the Embassy of Nepal in Doha,
he highlighted deep-rooted structural impediments, limited access to
international markets, widening digital divides, resource constraints and
increasing climate-related impacts experienced by the LDCs.
He addressed the meeting as the Chair of
the Global Coordination Bureau of the group of LDCs.
Likewise, addressing a Ministerial Dialogue
on graduation challenges, he highlighted the key areas of agriculture,
hydropower, tourism, manufacturing, ICT and human capital that hold immense
potential for Nepal's economic transformation despite the challenging global
development landscape.
He expressed Nepal's keen interest to
working closely with development partners, the United Nations systems, and the
international community for sustained graduation.
The same day, the Foreign Secretary visited
the Embassy of Nepal in Doha and instructed the officials to protect and
promote Nepal's national interest and make every possible effort to deliver
best services to Nepali migrant workers living in Qatar.
Foreign Secretary Rai is in a three-day
visit to Doha to participate in High-level Meeting jointly organised by Qatar
and the UN Office of the High Representative for the Least Developed Countries,
Landlocked Developing Countries and Small Island States (UN-OHRLLS).
