Kathmandu, July 13
The Nepali Embassy in Germany, in collaboration with
the OAV – German Asia Pacific Business Association, and the Nepal-German
Chamber of Commerce and Industry (NGCCI), jointly hosted a high-level business
visit and B2B meetings in Hamburg to enhance bilateral trade and investment.
The visit featured a special tour of the Airbus
facility where delegates learned about German aviation excellence and Nepal’s
use of Airbus helicopters in high-altitude areas like the Everest Base Camp.
Airbus officials praised Nepali engineers involved in their production, noting
their technical skills and reliability, NGCCI informed in a statement on Sunday.
Nepal’s Ambassador to Germany Dr. Sail Rupakheti, who
played a leading role in bringing together business leaders from both countries,
urged the NGCCI to facilitate more B2B meetings to attract investment and
streamline business travel.
Likewise, NGCCI President Santosh C. Kunwar – leader
of the Nepali delegation – had addressed concerns raised by German businesses
regarding Nepal’s procurement process.
More than 150 participants from countries including
Germany, Nepal, India, China, Japan, and Singapore attended the event. Nepal’s
Barasinghe Beer, represented by Muskan Shrestha and Ravi KC, was a highlight of
the event. "It became the most consumed beverage at the event and demonstrated
growing global curiosity for Nepali products," read the statement.
The programme underlined the mutual commitment to
improving trade relations. Dr. Rupakheti emphasised that NGCCI must now take
the lead in coordinating future business exchanges and fostering a more
favourable investment climate in Nepal.
