KATHMANDU: A meeting of the Council of Ministers was held through video-conferencing for the first time today. Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli, who is currently in Singapore for his treatment, took part in the cabinet meeting through video-conferencing, making the use of Information Communication Technology (ICT) for the first time in conducting such a meeting. A few days ago, a cabinet meeting had decided to amend the Government of Nepal (Transaction of Business) Regulations-2008, allowing the PM to hold Cabinet meetings using information technology from outside the country. Up until now, the PM was able to hold cabinet meetings from within the country only. READ ALSO:
