Nepal's Minister for Foreign Affairs Pradeep Kumar Gyawali addressed this morning the Annual Ministerial Meeting of the Least Developed Countries (LDCs) held virtually on the margins of the 75th session of the United Nations General Assembly.

In his address, Foreign Minister Gyawali underlined the far-reaching socio-economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, climate change and natural disasters to the LDCs, including Nepal, and called for launching of a global stimulus package for the LDCs to be implemented with immediate effect.

“Our focus must be on the unfinished business of the Istanbul Programme of Action (IPOA). It is also a time to reflect upon the gaps between the IPOA and its implementation and identify the bottlenecks that need our introspection,” Minister Gyawali said.
