Foreign Minister Rana returns home

Kathmandu, October 4 — Foreign Minister Dr. Arju Rana Deuba has returned to Nepal. She arrived back on Friday afternoon after participating in the third Asia Cooperation Dialogue (ACD) conference held in Doha, Qatar.

Minister Rana had traveled to Qatar leading a Nepali delegation to attend a meeting of women foreign ministers held in Toronto, Canada, and the 79th United Nations General Assembly in New York.

Minister Rana stated that her foreign visits have been fruitful in enhancing Nepal's image and attracting foreign investment for prosperity.

She said, “The Asian Cooperative Dialogue in Qatar focused on two main issues—one related to AI, which garnered significant international interest. We addressed these topics there, as well as discussions on peace and conflicts occurring in Asia. There was also talk of sports diplomacy, and I emphasized the great potential for mountaineering and white-water rafting in Nepal, suggesting we could take a leadership role in these areas.”

During the ACD conference in Qatar, Minister Rana engaged in discussions on various bilateral interests with her counterparts from different countries.
