Kathmandu. Federation of Nepalese Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FNCCI) President Chandra Prasad Dhakal has stressed the need of creating opportunities at home by utilizing the skills learned abroad. He was speaking at the Nepal Festival 2025 organized by the Embassy of Nepal in Abu Dhabi in collaboration with the Non-Resident Nepali Association (NRNA) in Dubai.
He stressed the need to achieve economic prosperity through nepal as there are enough possibilities in the country. “Development is not possible without a planned long-term vision. We can learn from Dubai that development requires visionary and stable leadership. The UAE, which relies only on oil, has diversified its economy and focused on sectors such as tourism, financial services, construction, smart cities and trade. Dubai has become the business hub of the world. We should also be able to benefit from the possibilities in our country by diversifying them in the same way. ” he said.
Dhakal said foreign investment in energy, tourism, agriculture and information technology sectors has huge potential in the context of Nepal and it would help in employment generation and overall economic development of Nepal.
Stating that Nepal is a country rich in art and culture and nepal can be made known to the world through the art, culture and traditions that are the country’s invaluable fund, he said such festivals organized abroad would play an important role in making Nepal known to the world and promoting friendship and harmony.
He also said that the Federation has been continuously working towards further strengthening the economic relations between Nepal and the UAE. He said that the Federation in collaboration with the Embassy of Nepal in Abu Dhabi and Dubai Chamber of Commerce organized the “Nepal-Dubai Business Forum” in December 2023 and it has provided an opportunity to the business leaders of the two countries to explore the possibilities of aspi cooperation.
Stating that the private sector highly respects the contributions of Nepali workers working abroad, he said the Federation is committed to building partnerships that benefit both Nepal and the UAE.
