The World Bank has said it will remain a strong partner of Nepal in its transition to peace and stability, as it underlined the need for consensus among the political parties to put the country on a path of high economic growth and development.
“The World Bank will remain a firm partner to Nepal in the transition to peace and stability,” said Ellen Goldstein, the World Bank’s Country Director for Nepal and Bhutan after meeting senior government officials and leaders of major political parties in the capital.
She said the present situation is an unparalleled opportunity for Nepalis across the political spectrum to cement the peace in a spirit of compromise and to put the country on a path of high economic growth and development.
She arrived here to consult with the new government, political leaders and senior government officials on the World Bank’s country strategy for Nepal for 2012-2013.
The Bank’s Board of Executive Directors is scheduled to discuss the new strategy on September 15.
She met Finance Minister Barsha Man Pun and discussed the economic and development priorities of the new coalition government, according to a World Bank press release.
She also held discussion with Nepali Congress president Sushil Koirala, CPN-UML chairman and former Prime Minister Jhala Nath Khanal and Constituent Assembly members.
