Kathmandu, Oct. 1

CEO of Sagarmatha Lumbini Insurance Company Limited (SALICO) Chunky Chhetry has been elected Vice-President of the Association of Insurers and Reinsurers of Developing Countries (AIRDC).

He was elected Vice-President at AIRDC’s General Membership Meeting held in Harare, Zimbabwe, earlier this week. He will also serve as a member of AIRDC’s Executive Board of Trustees.

Stating that established to promote cooperation, knowledge and experience sharing among insurance and reinsurance companies in developing countries and to support the development and expansion of the insurance sector, the company expressed hopes that AIRDC will provide Nepal’s insurance sector greater opportunities for international representation and collaboration through Chhetry’s leadership.

Similarly, Chhetry will serve as Chairman of the Local Organising Committee for the 25th AIRDC Conference, which will be held in Kathmandu, Nepal, in 2028. Under his leadership, coordination and cooperation between Nepal and AIRDC member countries will be further strengthened to ensure the successful organisation of the conference, said the company.

Meanwhile, SALICO signed an agreement with Himalayan Bullion Company to provide accidental insurance coverage to all customers of the company. Under the agreement, accidental insurance coverage will be provided to customers from the upcoming anniversary of the company, according to their membership category. Customers with Silver Membership will get accidental insurance coverage of up to Rs. 100,000, Gold Membership up to Rs. 500,000 and Diamond Membership up to Rs. 1 million.
