Nepal to invite world leaders for Everest Dialogue
Kathmandu–Nepal government is preparing to invite world leaders including Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese premier Li Qiang for the Sagarmatha Sambaad(Everest Dialogue).
Nepal government is preparing to conduct the first edition of Sambaad in May this year on the theme of Climate Change, Mountains and the Future of Humanity. According to officials, government is preparing to send invitation with world leaders.
The idea of Sagarmatha Sambaad was first conceived in 2019 but due to the outbreak of the Covid-19, it was postponed for indefinite period. Nepal’s Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has said that government plans to organize the global dialogue focusing on pertinent themes and important issues of global and regional significance.
The first edition of Sambaad will deal with the question of climate change-especially in the context of mountains. Climate change is not only a part of poly-crisis that the world faces today. It could equally morph into a perma-crisis that would hover above the heads of coming generations.
