KATHMANDU: A delegation team from Nepal-India Chamber of Commerce and Industry (NICCI) led by Vice-President of NICCI and Business Head of Dabur Nepal Harkirat Singh Bedi along with Co-Convener of Indian Business Forum at NICCI Saibal Ghosh; Director General of NICCI, Keshab Man Singh; Deputy Director Marshal Rathour and media expert Kuber Chalise paid a courtesy call on Industry Minister Dilendra Prasad Badu at the Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Supplies on Monday.

The delegation team updated the minister about Intellectual Property Right (IPR) which was being raised by NICCI and Nepali business fraternity since over a decade. The delegation suggested that unless the issues related to IPR are resolved it would be hard to bring FDIs into Nepal, as per a media release. As NICCI is planning to organise a programme on IPR, the delegation requested Minister Badu for cooperation and partnership in the programme. Minister Badu expressed his eagerness to participate in the programme and discussed issues presented by NICCI.
