The Embassy of Korea in Nepal organized a knowledge-sharing program on Wednesday in collaboration with the newly established Nepal-Korea Business Entrepreneurs’ Association (NKBEA).

This initiative aims to strengthen bilateral relations between Nepal and Korea, with a growing emphasis on economic cooperation. 

Speaking at the program, Ambassador of the Republic of Korea to Nepal Tae-Young highlighted the success stories of Nepali workers returning from South Korea, recognizing them as key drivers of Nepal’s economic development, according to a statement issued by the Korean Embassy in Kathmandu. 

He emphasized that the Employment Permit System (EPS) should not be viewed merely as a labor initiative, but as a “partnership for human development,” enabling workers to acquire skills, earn income, and return home with the capacity to launch entrepreneurial ventures.

On the occasion, Prem Kumar Gurung, President of NKBEA, highlighted the longstanding labor and cultural ties between Nepal and Korea.
