KATHMANDU, NOVEMBER 9
Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal has asserted that the government is making strides to eradicate corruption and uphold good governance.
Speaking at the 20th-anniversary program of the 'Pratiman-Nima Memorial Foundation' on Thursday, the PM highlighted that his government's foremost priorities include ensuring social justice, good governance, and prosperity. The aim is to transform the nation's existing challenges into opportunities.
PM Prachanda also disclosed that the government is diligently working to alleviate the pressures on the national economy. He remarked, 'Most economic indicators are positive. However, strategic measures are crucial to alleviate economic pressures.'
Citing his visits to India, Italy, USA, and China as contributing to promoting national interests, the PM emphasized that the recent visit of United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and his remarks about Nepal have captured the world's attention.
According to the PM, this has laid the groundwork for drafting laws on the peace process and transitional justice, addressing the multifaceted impacts of climate change on Nepal, claiming royalties for Nepal's contributions to reducing carbon emissions, and positioning Nepal as a leader in the field of climate change-a significant achievement.
Furthermore, PM Prachanda stated that the government's swift actions in rescue and relief operations for earthquake-affected communities in Jajarkot and Rukum Paschim districts have set the stage for an effective and scientifically guided role in their rehabilitation. He shared the government's commitment to advancing rehabilitation programs in a scientific and organized manner, drawing lessons from the Gorkha Earthquake of 2015.
During the occasion, former Prime Minister Lokendra Bahadur Chand expressed his appreciation for the contributions of the Pratiman-Nima Memorial Foundation in producing technical human resources in the country.
The foundation was established in memory of Pratiman Chand Bohara, a democratic fighter who played crucial roles in the democratic movement of 2007 BS.
