The summit will focus on the sectors where India-Nepal co-operation can be further boosted through proactive and sublime ‘East Connection’ to achieve the desired goals for Nepal’s economic development from tourism to agriculture and food processing, energy, infrastructure, healthcare, education, skill development and start-ups to services, according to deputy secretary and coordinator SDC, India Nepal Centre, Atul K Thakur.
The summit aims at hosting the key industry and government stakeholders from both the countries who are either already involved with the industrial development of Nepal or have genuine urge to be part of it. “Also, the Summit will facilitate two-ways investment opportunities between India and Nepal through sensitising the Indian industry and investors – especially those located in India’s Northeast and neighbouring countries – and Nepalese counterparts to come in term with the strong possibilities that Nepal offers unwaveringly for businesses and investments,” he added.
