Connectivity plays a catalytic role in enhancing an effective regional process: PM Deuba

Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba has said that connectivity plays a catalytic role in enhancing an effective regional process. We must enhance investment in transportation networks, energy, and power grid interconnections.

Addressing the Fifth BIMSTEC Summit, PM Deuba further added that for a vibrant, forward-looking, and integrated BIMSTEC region, we must promote Buddhism as a strong connecting thread. 

“We call for an early operationalization of the Buddhist circuit connecting Lumbini, the birthplace of Gautam Buddha,” he said.
