The Confederation of Nepalese Industries (CNI) has urged Prof Dr. Shreedhar Khatri, Nepal’s proposed ambassador to the United States of America, to work towards bringing in foreign direct investments in the country and export promotion, keeping tourism development at the center.
In a discussion with the proposed ambassador, CNI office-bearers including president Bishnu Kumar Agrawal suggested that the proposed ambassador put in his best efforts to expand the market through investments for and establish easy access to specialized productions like pashmina, ready-made garments, and hardened cheese to the American market.
Likewise, CNI urged Dr. Khatri to make efforts towards having a high-level visit to Nepal from the US with the aim of promoting tourism as well as giving special attention to further strengthening the diplomatic ties between the two countries through economic diplomacy.
The CNI also suggested to the proposed ambassador to take initiative to mobilize American investments in tourism and service sectors, as well as the water resources sector since the construction of standard infrastructures, was the primary need to take the country ahead on the path of development.
