Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has said the incumbent government would move ahead by removing the challenges of inequality, poverty and corruption prevailing in the society by making democracy transparent and more accountable.

Addressing a function organized on the occasion of the National Democracy Day-2081 at The Army Pavilion, Tundikhel today, he made it clear that the government's policy was to take the country towards prosperity by empowering the youth.

"Over the seventy-five years since the end of 104 years of autocratic rule, despite many ups and downs, we have begun moving from poverty to prosperity, from a developing to a developed nation, and from inequality to equality in the light of democracy," the PM said on the occasion.

According to him, democracy is the foundation for Nepal's graduation from least developed country status by 2026 and for improving economic indicators to ensure sustainable development.

"We are utilising every moment, possibility, and capacity towards achieving Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. Through this, we will succeed in fulfilling our national aspiration of ‘Prosperous Nepal, Happy Nepali’," he added.
