Nepal has called on the international community to collaborate on preventing ongoing disruptions in global energy and supply chains, which are hindering sustainable development. Foreign Affairs Minister Shisir Khanal stated that the conflict in West Asia has adversely affected Nepal, impacting the lives of over 2 million Nepalis working in the region and disproportionately burdening smaller, least developed nations.

  • Minister Khanal emphasized that the disruptions have led to rising energy costs, falling remittances, and a slowdown in tourism, affecting families in vulnerable countries.
  • He urged the international community to support affected nations rather than leaving them to face crises alone.
  • The address was made virtually during a meeting of the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC).
  • Nepal's Permanent Mission to the United Nations in New York provided information regarding the Minister's statements.
