He also urged Nepali workers and industrialists in Malaysia to increase investment in energy and join ‘Nepal’s Water People’s Investment’ campaign initiated by the government in a bid to make strides in energy sector, by utilising skills and efficiencies gained from the foreign land.

Also on the occasion, Nepal’s ambassador to Malaysia Dr Niranjan Man Singh Basnet viewed that a campaign could be moved forward for the development and economic prosperity of Nepal by utilising skills achieved from and using technology used by Malaysia. RSS
