Kathmandu, Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ has reiterated the government’s commitment to prepare the legal and policy base required for making Nepal as an attractive destination for investment. Inaugurating the two-day Fourth Responsible Business Conference organized by the National Business Initiative in the federal capital today, he said the government has introduced several economic programmes for making the economy vibrant.

The PM on the occasion referred to his address to the Business Summit held recently in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in which he had called for making Nepal an investment destination. He stressed on the need of the entrepreneurs and all the stakeholders as well as the society to become responsible in order to make Nepal successful business-wise. “Responsible business practices are beneficial not only from the moral and social point of view alone, but also in terms of business strategy as well.

Through the responsible business practices the businesses can contribute towards the sustainable development and create a positive impact in society,” he emphasized. Stating that not only the private sector, the primary partner of the state, but all the state entities needed to be equally responsible, the Head-of-the-Government urged for support from all sides in the steps the government has initiated for establishing good governance and corruption control.

He shared that he has been continuously making efforts to infuse hope by creating investment-friendly climate in the country and to ease the existing stressors seen in the economy, stating an extensive interaction had been held amongst the government, the private sector and the economists only a few days back for reviving the economy.

“Some important declarations have also been made at the end of this interaction. I am confident that that interaction and the declaration will play crucial role in bringing improvements in the economy,” PM Dahal said. Looking at statistics, the economy is getting improved. However, some hard works should be done in infusing hopes in general people, he said.
