PM Deuba vows to prioritize trade infrastructure development to boost export

KATHMANDU: Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba stressed on better trade infrastructure to promote Nepal’s export trade.
In a message sent to the ECN on the occasion of 24th Annual General Meeting of Export Council of Nepal (ECN) and 6th National Export Day programme organised in the Capital on Thursday, he said, “Development of entrepreneurship and trade infrastructure is imperative to increase productivity and enhance export trade for stronger economic growth.”

He also pledged the state support to entrepreneurs in enhancing Nepal’s export to the international markets.

Addressing the programme, Finance Minister Janardan Sharma, said that it was unfortunate that the country is exporting labour force and importing finished goods.

“We should move on the direction of economic self-reliance and there should be greater cooperation and collaboration between the government and private sector,” he said.
