It was an honor to meet Nepal’s Prime Minister @ShahBalen and congratulate him on the strong mandate he has received.

I affirmed ADB’s strong commitment to supporting his ambitious reforms towards economic transformation, job creation, and investment.  ADB is stepping up as Nepal’s largest development partner, with additional support of $2.4 billion through 2029 to help translate the Prime Minister’s vision into results on the ground.

For 60 years, Nepal and ADB have worked together through hardship, recovery, and progress, delivering safer schools, cleaner energy, stronger infrastructure, and better opportunities.

I look forward to working closely with the Prime Minister and his government to deliver tangible and lasting progress for the people of Nepal.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs today hosted the 5th Edition of the Prof. Yadu Nath Khanal Lecture Series in Kathmandu on the theme "Foreign Policy of Nepal: Navigating Geopolitical and Geoeconomic Trends."

In his keynote address, Former Prime Minister Dr Baburam Bhattarai reflected on the profound shifts reshaping the international order- intensifying major-power competition, the growing role of economic instruments and technology in global affairs, and what these mean for Nepal's foreign policy choices.

Delivering the concluding remarks, Hon. Foreign Minister Mr Shisir Khanal underscored that Nepal must approach this evolving environment with clarity, confidence and prudence- with foreign policy firmly anchored in national interest while serving the aspirations of our people.

Hon. Ministers, Members of Parliament, former ministers, heads of diplomatic missions, and distinguished guests attended the event. The programme was also livestreamed through the Ministry's Facebook and YouTube channels.
