The event was graced by the presence of Hon'ble Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister, Mr. Bishnu Prasad Paudel, who shared invaluable insights into the government's fiscal priorities and vision for economic growth. Representatives from the Federation of Nepalese Chambers of Commerce & Industry (FNCCI), the Nepal Chamber of Commerce, and various other associations and sectors added depth to the dialogue with their expertise and constructive feedback.
