Kathmandu, January 13

The government of Nepal has finalised a plan to construct the country’s biggest convention centre, which will have a capacity of around 5,000 people, in Sano Thimi of Bhaktapur, east of Kathmandu.

The Ministry of Urban Development says the Ministry has begun preparing a design for the centre. The Ministry’s spokesperson, Krishna Prasad Duwadi, says cost estimation and other details of the project will be finalised after the finalisation of design.

After the government began using Naya Baneshwor-based Birendra International Convention Centre for parliamentary meetings, Nepal lacks a venue to host international events. The government and private agencies have been using five-star hotels for the events.

Likewise, traders and businesspersons have also been demanding for a spacious place to host trade fairs and exhibitions.

Government officials believe the construction will help the government cut down its spending on formal events and attract more foreign tourists and traders.
