"It was incredible to witness the success of their organic chocolate brand and how they were able to showcase their local products to the world," Rana said.

Among the members were Maina Karki, Bhagwati Chaudhary, Dr Chanda Karki Bhandari, and Federal Parliament Secretariat’s Deputy Secretary Bimalraj Joshi, who were all enthusiastic about exploring opportunities to promote Nepali products worldwide.

With the right branding strategies and market access, Nepal has the potential to position itself as a producer of high-quality indigenous goods on the international stage, fostering economic growth and promoting national pride, said Deputy Speaker Rana.
