We have always tried to provide ease of business to other countries and we want to have better business and cultural relations with India and especially Gujaratis," said Mahat.

He further discussed recent discussions with India's Finance Minister, Nirmala Sitharaman, regarding the simplification of payment gateways between the two countries.

Addressing concerns about political stability, Minister Mahat reassured the audience that Nepal is moving towards a more stable governance system.

"There have been instable governments in Nepal, but things are getting better. Moreover, irrespective of which government, everyone is in favor of India. Currently, the Marwadi community is huge in Nepal; they have set up several businesses and are here for years," he emphasised.

The Finance Minister's visit aimed to foster stronger economic ties between Nepal and Gujarat, recognising the potential benefits of mutual investment and cooperation.

Minister Mahat's invitation to Gujarati entrepreneurs and investors reflects Nepal's commitment to creating a conducive environment for business growth and enhancing bilateral relations.
