Kathmandu: Prime Minister Sushila Karki has emphasized the need for ongoing consultations and the exchange of ideas between the government, political parties, and Gen Z groups. During a tripartite discussion at the Prime Minister’s residence in Baluwatar, PM Karki urged attendees to engage in thorough discussions, stressing the importance of collective efforts to address the country’s challenges.
According to National News Agency Nepal, the meeting was convened by PM Karki to foster an atmosphere conducive to the upcoming election. She highlighted the necessity of frequent dialogues, stating, “Let us exchange all opinions. This is our country. We are the ones to build our nation.
