Ex-Chief of NCP(UML) comes to Austria

Current Development and Political Scenario of Nepal :

Opportunities and Threats
Nepal still faces rampant poverty, regional imbalance, increasing social divide and numerous political, social, economic and cultural problems. These problems are not only manifest in the daily lives of the people, but have led to violent conflicts at the national, regional and local levels. Recent political developments after the success of Jana Andolan II (aka People's Movement II), including a momentum for negotiation Nepal’s development policies, strategies and priorities, opportunities and threats and moving towards the participatory democracy, are, understandably, at the forefront of the concerns and activities of all those involved in promoting the emergence of a ‘New Nepal’.
It is, thus, important that politicians, policy makers, scientist, development community as well as the people at large reflect and review Nepal ’s recent past and develop appropriate strategies- based on a fresh perspective and analysis. In this context, we are going to organize the interaction program entitled ‘Current Development and Political Scenario of Nepal: an Opportunities and Constraints’ on 25th November at Vienna . It is our great pleasure to have former Deputy Prime Minister & Leader of CPN (UML), Madhav Kumar Nepal, as a chief guest of the program. We would like to invite all Nepalese societies and individuals in and outside Vienna for active participation in the discussion and contribute for defining development priorities, and frame the direction and nature of political change at present development scenario of Nepal.
