We are paying the ultimate price for a global crisis we did not create,
- Nepal’s Foreign Minister Shisir Khanal said last weekAljazeeraaljazeera.com/news/2026…
It is not just about shifting the blame to one or the other country, it’s about us all working together.”
- While Khanal initially singled out India and China as countries that should step in to help — while avoiding mention of the US, which is the world’s biggest polluter — he rowed back on those comments, sayingGuardiantheguardian.com/world/2026…
We will make our case about the impact of climate change and seek global support and moral obligation to tackle it,
- Nepal's Foreign Minister Shisir Khanal told DWDeutsche Welledw.com/en/nepal…ABP Livenews.abplive.com/news/world…
There is possibility of Prime Minister also attending the General Assembly meeting but it is in early stage of discussion. Initially there was plan for the Foreign Minister to go for it but given the nature and urgency of the matter that we really want to raise at the international forum, it may be even better- ideal for our Prime Minister to be present. Given the disaster situation, it’s quite challenging for Prime Minister himself to leave the country but we are actively looking for the possibility of Prime Minister as well but the final decisions are yet to be made,
- Khanal told ANIAsianet Newsablenewsable.asianetnews.com/world…
This disaster tells us that our destinies are intertwined,
- Khanal saidXinhuaNetenglish.news.cn/20260904/1cf9a…
So the government of China has been providing us with all the support,
