These initiatives, ranging from sustainable development projects to community empowerment programs, reflect the unwavering commitment of Korean companies to fostering positive impacts on the environment and society in Nepal.

From donation for local people to capacity building, these activities stand as a testament to the deep respect and care Korea holds for the people and future of Nepal. Allow me to express my heartfelt gratitude to these visionary Korean companies, whose dedication and investments have not only strengthened bilateral economic cooperation but also enriched the lives of many in Nepal.

At the same time, the success of these endeavors relies on the collaboration and support from all stakeholders. As we move forward, I would like to request the continued cooperation of the Government of Nepal in ensuring a favorable investment environment for foreign companies. By fostering an ecosystem of trust, transparency, and mutual benefit, we can encourage more dynamic and impactful partnerships that contribute to the sustainable development of both our countries.

This forum represents an opportunity to deepen our understanding of how CSR initiatives can drive sustainable growth and inclusive prosperity.
