Message From The Chairman
The formal relation between Nepal and China dates back to 1950s. Ever since then, Nepal and China have always been mutually supportive to each other. The pace of growth however, has been very sluggish for Nepalese economy. Nepal, despite being in the middle of China and India- two of Asia’s largest economies, has not been able to grow with much pace.
China has always been a very helpful neighbor to Nepal. It has been providing various opportunities whether it is through skills trainings, cultural exchanges, and technological support or through large financial assistance on the government level. Nepal on the other hand has not been able to utilize all such opportunities. Therefore, Nepal China Friendship Forum was established to make sure that Nepal makes use of all such opportunities provided by China. We plan to organize events, seminar, exchange programs, etc. to bring in the skills from China or be inspired by them to develop Nepal.
In addition, the world today gives a high priority to research. Nepal has an immense need of research too so as to avoid any kind of future problems. Knowledge at hand through research is another objective NCFF carries along with it so as to provide resourceful materials to various academicians, policy makers, researchers and other relevant parties.
Hence, I would heartily welcome all of you to be a part of this initiative to develop the Nepalese economy.
Dr Kalyan Raj Sharma
