How do you image Nepal in 10- 20 years from now?
«Our country and our people have lots of opportunities for prosperity. We are now poor, but not because we don’t have natural and human resources. We are poor because of the policy enforced by the feudal King Gyanendra.
We have resorses for hydroelectric power, thanks to the large amount of water coming off the Himalayas. Tourism could also create enormous income for us, thanks to our marvellous mountains, our historical and religious sites and our astonishing natural parks.
Not to mention our agriculture, the land in Terai is potentially very fertile With good government we can become one of the richest country in South Asia. But we need transport, hi tech and scientific projects, infrastructures, and a lot of courage. In ten years we’ll change the whole scenario, rebuilding this country to prosperity.
In 20 years we could be simular to Switzerland. This is my goal for Nepal».
