The Government of Nepal has said that it has accepted and utilized development aid as per the country’s national requirement and priority.
It has been doing so as a sovereign country that pursues an independent, balanced, and non-aligned foreign policy reads a statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs here today in response to media queries about the views that appeared in various media on the Millennium Challenge Compact assistance to Nepal.
“The Government of Nepal remains grateful to our neighbors and those friends with whom Nepal has traditionally been enjoying strong partnership and cooperation as well as regional and multilateral development aid partners, including the United Nations for their continued support to the socio-economic development of Nepal.”
Stating that development assistance has played an important role in the building of infrastructures and development in Nepal, the government has said that the decision to accept development assistance is taken by Nepal in terms of her national interest and priority.
The sovereign parliament of Nepal alone decides what development assistance is needed in the best interest of Nepal and the Nepali people.
