KATHMANDU, Feb 14: President of the Federation of Nepalese Chamber of Commerce and Industries (FNCCI), Chandra Dhakal, has urged world business leaders to explore the untapped opportunities in Nepal. He specifically encouraged global entrepreneurs to invest in Nepal's hydro power, tourism, agriculture, and manufacturing sectors.
Addressing the World Governments Summit-2024 organized in Dubai, UAE, President Dhakal highlighted Nepal's significant potential for economic growth and development. Positioned between the two largest markets in the world, India and China, Nepal enjoys duty-free market access to these countries and other developed nations. This implies that international investors can manufacture goods in Nepal and distribute them globally, he emphasized.
