Call on by H.E. IKUINA Akiko, Japan’s Parliamentary Vice-Minister for Foreign Affairs. We deliberated on Japan and Nepal’s longstanding relationship. I thanked H.E. Akiko for Japan’s sustained assistance to Nepal, namely for the emergency rehabilitation of the Banepa-Sindhuli-Bardibaas Highway. I look forward to H.E. Akiko’s meaningful participation in the Sagarmatha Sambaad.
