In an effort to bring long lasting peace and stability in Nepal and to pave the way for the election of Constituent Assembly in June this year, a 22- member new cabinet has been formed under the Premiership of Mr. Girija Prasad Koirala.
Following his appointment as the Prime Minister of the interim government, Nepali Congress President and Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala administered the oath of office to the newly appointed members of the interim government. Five Ministers from Communist Party of Nepal (Maoists) have also been inducted in the cabinet for the time.
Koirala, who has been appointed the prime minister of Nepal for the sixth time, also administered the oath of office to four state ministers of the newly formed cabinet.
The 22-member interim government now has the responsibility of steering the nation to successfully hold the elections to the Constituent Assembly scheduled for June 20.
Over more than a decade, Nepalese tourism industry has suffered severely due to conflicts at home and other untoward incidences that took place around the world. Since Maoists have also joined the interim Government, it will definitely provide a boost to ailing tourism industry of Nepal. Although not a single tourist had been targeted or harmed by the rebels during a decade-long insurgency, the conflict emanated wrong message to world about the safety and security situation of Nepal. With the ending of conflict and formation of interim government, all tourism entrepreneurs have expressed their satisfaction and happiness in a hope that it will bring permanent peace in the country which is vital for the growth of tourism industry.
Formation of new cabinet at this juncture has given a positive message to the world that Nepalese people are capable of resolving their own problem the Nepal Tourism Board said.
What until recently was dream of all Nepali and peace lovers has now become a reality. The Nepalese tourism industry would like to make a pledge to all tourists to come and visit Nepal; and see and experience its beauty, grandeur, culture, arcane temples and monasteries, mountains and jungles of Nepal. With the favourable atmosphere at the doorstep, the tourism industry of Nepal is bound to make progress rapidly, added NTB.
