It is a pleasure and privilege to be with you this evening at this important gathering.
Let me extend my sincere appreciation to the Embassy of Nepal in the Kingdom of Spain for organizing this event.
And to all of you—thank you for your presence.
Your participation reflects our shared commitment to forging stronger and more meaningful business ties between our two countries.
Dear Friends,
Nepal and Spain enjoy warm, friendly, and growing relations— founded on shared democratic values, mutual respect for human rights, and a joint commitment to peace and harmony.
Our growing people-to-people connections continue to serve as a powerful bridge for deeper engagement.
Nepal is a peaceful and welcoming country—home to Lumbini, the birthplace of Gautama Buddha, and to Sagarmatha, the highest peak on Earth.
A land of rich cultural heritage and breathtaking natural beauty, Nepal is also a land of boundless investment opportunity.
Today, Nepal stands at a promising crossroads.
With political stability and a clear focus on inclusive economic transformation, we are determined to realize our national aspiration: “Prosperous Nepal, Happy Nepali.”
To this end, we are actively encouraging investment from our foreign friends.
We see the private sector as a key engine of economic growth, and my government is fully committed to maintaining a business-friendly environment.
We have introduced comprehensive legal, procedural, and institutional reforms to ease trade, attract foreign investment, and promote innovation.
As the Chair of the Investment Board Nepal, I assure you—we are ready to facilitate and guide investment in Nepal across key sectors.
Independent evaluations—including those by the IMF, World Bank, and leading international rating agencies confirmed that Nepal offers one of the most favorable business climates in South Asia.
We offer:
These are not mere promises—they are real, tangible advantages for foreign investors.
Nepal’s potential is immense— particularly in:
Our tourism sector, in particular, presents a world of possibilities:
From cultural tourism to adventure sports, wellness retreats to film tourism,

Nepal is ready.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Let us seize this moment.
Let us build partnerships that are future-focused and mutually rewarding.
I warmly invite the Spanish business community to visit Nepal, explore its potential, and invest in its future.
You are assured of our full support, investment protection, and seamless facilitation.
Nepal welcomes you—not only as investors, but as trusted partners.
Thank you.
