The Embassy of Nepal, UK-based Nepali business and community organizations, and British friends of Nepal have decided to jointly organize Nepal Fair 2008 in London on 21 and 22 September 2008. They have taken the decision at a meeting held at the embassy today.

It has been agreed that the organizers would showcase Nepal's trade, tourism, investment, food, fashion, culture, etc. in the fair and ensure effective and impressive attendance of Nepali and British businesspeople in it. To put the fair together, a committee has been constituted under the chairmanship of the Nepali Ambassador to the United Kingdom that has two vice chairs, seven coordinators for specific tasks and areas, and two co-focal points. ^#

The organizers have pledged to make the fair a regular, possibly annual, feature in London in the years ahead. It is expected that the fair would contribute significantly to the further strengthening of the economic and cultural ties between the two countries and bring substantial and concrete benefits to the Nepali people.
