Migrant workers requested to invest in Nepal: FNCCI Prez

Kathmandu, April 19: President of the Federation of Nepalese Chambers of Commerce and Industry, Chandra Prasad Dhakal, called on Nepalis who are on foreign employment for the investment in Nepal, saying there is an immense potential here.    

Addressing the first convention organized for the establishment of multi-purpose revolving fund under protection of Baglung Sewa Samaj, Qatar in Doha on Friday, President Dhakal shared that a false narrative was created that 'there is nothing in Nepal' and 'nothing has happened in Nepal'.    

 "People have been brewing false and negative narrative which is a wrong tendency in deed. However, there is a huge potential of investment in Nepal. We can achieve a lot if we work hard in Nepal as done abroad", he argued, saying that mere criticism to Nepal in comparison to development and technology is illogical.    

Sharing that Nepal Development Company with Rs 10 billion capital was established in order to provide investment opportunity to Nepalis, who are in foreign employment,

President Dhakal urged Nepali migrant workers to invest through the company. The company is investing in hydropower, tourism, industry sectors as well as different potential areas by accumulating scattered capitals of Nepalis in and outside the country, he informed.    

The business leader thanked Baglung folks currently staying in Qatar for establishing the revolving fund to carry out the activities as per social responsibility and announced to support Rs 1.5 million to the fund.    
Dhakal was also honoured on the occasion.  (RSS)
