K P Sharma Oli hardsells Nepal to Bollywood, India Inc

MUMBAI: Visiting Nepalese Prime Minister K P Sharma Oli today called upon India Inc to invest in the Himalayan nation as it presents tremendous business opportunities.

" Nepal presents a conducive atmosphere for doing business in the areas of manufacturing, hydropower, IT and tourism," Oli said, according to a statement by All India Association of Industries that organised the meeting with industry and tinsel town leaders.

Oli further said though investors from many countries are keen on Nepal, he is looking for Indian investments as "we are neighbours and need to progress together".

Apart from industrialists, many actors and film producers were present at the meeting.

Nepal-born actress Manisha Koirala, actors Tabu, Govinda, Gulshan Grover, directors/producers like Firoz Nadiadwala, Ketan Desai, Deepa Mehta, Manmohan Shetty, Subhash Ghai, and Censor Board Chief Pahlaj Nihalani were among those present.
