Lobby underway for continuing Germany assistance

Kathmandu, 1 July : Various non-government organizations, private sector and individuals based in German have initiated lobby for continuing with Germany development cooperation to Nepal.

The move came at a time when Nepal’s time-tested friend Federal Republic of Germany has started a process to gradually axe its bilateral assistance to Nepal from 2024.

The issue is being discussed at the Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) of Germany – which has been aiding Nepal mainly in the areas of economic development, good governance and poverty alleviation. “It is critically important for Nepal as it would decide the fate of bilateral development cooperation received from Germany for the past six decades. However, the Germany ministry’s parliamentary committee has started the process to pull its hand of bilateral cooperation from other 24 countries across the globe including Nepal by 2030,” reads an RSS dispatch.
