Kathmandu, Sept 14: Economic experts have suggested the government to focus the imminent visit of Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal to India on issues that would help boost economic activities in the country.
At an interaction organized by Reporters’ Club in the capital city on Tuesday, economic expert and former ambassador to the US, Dr Shankar Sharma, said the PM’s visit to India should concentrate on how the foreign investment could be brought into Nepal. “The discussion should also focus on forwarding the Pancheshwor project and the postal highway to which India has committed to assist.”
Similarly, economist Dr Bishwombhar Pyakurel said the bilateral relations should be expanded further through economic partnership. Priority should also be placed on reducing the existing trade deficit with India, he suggested.
Former ambassador to India, Dr Durgesh Man Singh, said the issues to prioritize during the PM’s visit to India are economic partnership, trade and energy.
On the occasion, foreign affairs expert Dr Nischal Nath Pande said this visit can be the best opportunity to improve the strained relations with India.
However, economic advisor to the PM, Shreeram Poudel, said it would be the goodwill visit of PM Dahal to India, so it was not good to expect much from this. RSS
