Oli, during the conference, asserted that it was in the global interest to provide appropriate compensation to Nepal from the countries responsible for carbon emission and protect Himalayas from the adverse effects of climate change in the context of the mountains contributing to maintaining earth’s temperature.
UML-NC reinforce democracy
On a different note, the Head of the Government expressed his commitment to not let the democracy die since, he argued, the ruling coalition formed by his party CPN UML and the Nepali Congress (NC) have a history of championing democracy in the country.
Reiterating the incumbent government’s commitment towards democracy, he also highlighted the government’s resolution towards alleviating poverty and famine.
The PM mentioned, “We will not let the citizens die of hunger. We will not let poverty get us down. The present government is formed to lift people of poverty and hunger.” #climate #kpoli #nepal
