This cordial relationship has grownmany-fold over years. Exchange of visits at various levelsbetween the two countries signify the importance bothcountries place on each other. Our academic and culturalties have been also grown considerably to date, which Ibelieve they will continue and strengthen much more inthe near future.Japan started extending technical assistance to Nepal in1952, the year when Nepal joined the Colombo Plan.Today, Japan as one of Nepal’s major developmentpartners, is supporting technical assistance, and loansin almost all essential sectors such as hydropower,education, health, agriculture, drinking water, highways,communication, human resources development, etc. Isincerely hope that Japanese assistance will contribute toreducing the difficulties that this beautiful country facesand will play an important part to uplift the quality of lifeof people.The federal, provincial and local elections weresuccessfully held in 2017 under the Constitutionpromulgated in September 2015.
