UN General Assembly
2021

Nepal firmly believes in the indispensability of multilateralism, with the United Nations as its core. We consider it to be the only way to build global understanding and cooperation, promote shared interests and secure our common future. We add our voices in support of the measures and initiatives aimed at United Nations reform. The underrepresentation of developing countries must be addressed in recognition of their growing contributions. We want to see a more representative, inclusive and transparent Security Council and a revitalized General Assembly. Reforms must be inclusive, representative, accountable and effective in their delivery. We consider regional cooperation arrangements important for building trust and confidence among nations, managing harmonious relations and making the best use of complementarities for shared prosperity. Nepal’s active engagement in the South-Asian Association for Regional Cooperation, the Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multisectoral Technical and Economic Cooperation and the Asia Cooperation Dialogue is a demonstration of our ardent faith in regional cooperation, connectivity and integration.
