KATHMANDU: Prime Minister KP Oli has said Nepal is a virgin land for investors. Addressing the Vietnam-Nepal Business Forum at Hanoi, Prime Minister Oli said investment anywhere and everywhere is full of potentials with assured rate of return.
He reminded the Vietnamese investors that Nepal’s advantage lies in its rich natural resources, abundance of labour forces and the location between two largest markets India and China. The PM further said that there are opportunities for investment in multiple sectors as hydro power, agriculture, mineral resources, medicinal herbs, hospitality industry and financial markets in Nepal.
