UK Minister of State for International Development, Alan Duncan, is wrapping up his five-day trip and returning on Thursday.
During his visit Minister Duncan met with senior political leaders, including Chairman of the Interim government Khil Raj Regmi and Home Minister Madhav Ghimire, congratulating Nepal on successful completion of election and urging timely completion of the new constitution. He also visited UK-funded Gurkha welfare Scheme in Pokhara.
Speaking at a press conference in Kathmandu on Wednesday, Minister Duncan pointed out the longstanding relationship between Nepal and Britain, nearing the bicentennial anniversary of diplomatic ties.
“I came to see how UK Aid is helping the poorest and changing lives and to discuss the next phase of the UK’s development programme,” Minister Duncan said at the conference.
He informed that the UK’s development programme in Nepal has almost doubled in size this year, and DFID will spend £103m in Nepal by the end of March 2014.
Minister Duncan said that Nepal’s focus should now be on economic development.
“Economic development is the only way that Nepal can leave behind poverty for good,” Minister Duncan said. “Over the coming years, the UK’s development programme will see a shift from the vital peace-building work that has helped build the peace since the end of the Conflict to an increased focus on creating vital jobs and growth.”
This is Minister Duncan’s fifth visit to Nepal.
