Nepal has urged the international community to collaborate on preventing disruptions in global energy and supply chains, which are hindering sustainable development. Foreign Affairs Minister Shisir Khanal highlighted that the conflict in West Asia has directly impacted over 2 million Nepalis working in the region and disproportionately burdened smaller, less developed nations like Nepal. He noted the grave repercussions, including rising energy costs, falling remittances, and a slowdown in tourism, and called for international support for affected countries.
