KATHMANDU: A delegation of chief executive officers (CEOs) and editors of Nepal’s leading national dailies and television channels met Prime Minister (PM) Shahid Khaqan Abbasi on Monday.
The editors showed keen interest in the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) projects in Pakistan since Nepal had also joined the One Belt-One Road (OBOR) project in 2016.
The prime minister said that participation of Nepal in OBOR would usher in a new era of prosperity in the country.
Abbasi also informed the editors about Pakistan’s success in the war against terrorism and said that peace had been restored in all cities of the country, including Karachi, that suffered the most due to deteriorating law and order situation in the past.
He also mentioned Pakistan’s high economic growth rate and the construction of 1,700-kilometre network of roads and motorways across the country. He stressed that progress was the result of political stability and the continuation of the democratic process.
The media representatives shared their opinion on the state of media in Nepal, which they said had undergone a massive change with the transition of democracy in the country.
On this, Abbasi said the media of Pakistan was quite dynamic and vibrant as democratic norms in the country had ensured its independence.
The media chiefs from Nepal represented the ABC News Nepal, Janata Television, Gorkha Express and Nayapatrika National Daily.
