KATHMANDU, March 24: Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has called upon leaders of Asian countries to adopt accommodative and inclusive model of development in the region.
"The vision for Asia must be accommodative and inclusive," the prime minister said while addressing the Boao Forum for Asia in China on Thursday.
"The dream of Asia's future, the dream of peace and prosperity will be a failed cause if any of the Asian States is left behind. Make no mistake, the sustainability of development in Asia will fall apart if the development is not inclusive," he said. "Our pursuit for 'common destiny' will go misspent if anyone is left behind. Make no mistake, the Asian future should rest on the citadel of inclusiveness."
Describing Asia as an emerging powerhouse of global economy, he said the markets in the region are flourishing, industries are growing, jobs are being created and many of the Asians have been lifted out of the poverty.
Stating that the vicious circle of poverty still stares at courtyard of Asia he said growth of Asia must not be narrow in dimension and that rise of Asia must not be extractive in approach.
"Ascent of Asia must not be fragile in structure. Responsibility lies on us to uphold the vision that the dimension of Asian growth is broad enough; the approach of Asian rise is inclusive enough and the structure of Asian ascent is robust enough," he explained.
He informed the leaders about Nepal's new constitution introduced in September last year and thanked the Asian leaders for supporting Nepal in producing the national charter. "We promulgated a democratic and inclusive constitution through the Constituent Assembly elected by the people of Nepal," he said. "I would like to express sincere appreciation to all the states of Asia for their sincere support to our landmark endeavor."
