Kathmandu: A visiting delegation of industrialists from South Korea including ambassador to Nepal, Park Taeyoung, called on Minister for Physical Infrastructures and Transport, Prakash Jwala, and sought a proposal for the investment in infrastructures sector in Nepal.
During the meeting held at Minister’s office in Singh Durbar on Monday, the delegation reminded that they were investing in Nepal’s hydropower, and now ready for investing in the infrastructures sector as well. Ambassador Park said South Korea was ready to invest in roadway and railway in Nepal. So, it was prepared to hold thorough discussion on any concrete project to this regard.
He also recalled that although Nepal and South Korea were ready for Korean investment in infrastructure sector in 2018, change in government obviated the signing of agreement.
