Brilliant team spirit at the EU Inclusion Run bringing together people of all abilities for early morning sport in Kathmandu.

Glad to celebrate 25 years of “Everything But Arms” with Commerce Minister Hon. Shah and Nepal’s entrepreneurial export community, who have made good use of  the EU’s most open and reliable trade scheme. Duty-free and quota-free access will continue under EBA until 2032.

Rich ideas for invigorating EU-Nepal ties from our Youth Sounding Board (YSB)colleagues, including in the green transition, energy, investment, technology, disaster management, skills and human rights fields. I look forward to our continuing partnership.

A luminescent full moon above Kathmandu tonight - best wishes to those staying awake to mark Kojagrat Purnima.

A beautiful credentials ceremony - kind words from Rt. Hon. President Paudel about the positive trajectory of EU-Nepal relations.
