The ambassador highlighted the cooperation in areas such as scholarships, agriculture, health, education, and tourism. Israel has provided thousands of scholarships to Nepali professionals, who study in Israel and then implement their knowledge in Nepal. The "learn and earn" program has also helped Nepali farmers upgrade their skills through training and on-the-job experience in Israel. The ambassador emphasized the need for Nepal to modernize its agriculture sector to increase productivity and reduce the number of farmers gradually. He also discussed the positive changes happening in sectors like education, health, and technology in Nepal. However, the volume of trade between the two countries remains low, with most companies setting up offices in neighboring countries like India. The ambassador suggested that Nepal can benefit from Israeli expertise in areas such as textiles and plastic equipment production. He also highlighted Israel's success as a startup nation and encouraged Nepal to promote entrepreneurship and research and development. The interview concluded with a discussion on the implementation of an air service agreement between Nepal and Israel to facilitate direct flights and promote tourism.',

Israel has provided thousands of scholarships to Nepali professionals, who study in Israel and then implement their knowledge in Nepal. The "learn and earn" program has also helped Nepali farmers upgrade their skills through training and on-the-job experience in Israel. The ambassador emphasized the need for Nepal to modernize its agriculture sector to increase productivity and reduce the number of farmers gradually. He also discussed the positive changes happening in sectors like education, health, and technology in Nepal. However, the volume of trade between the two countries remains low, with most companies setting up offices in neighboring countries like India. The ambassador suggested that Nepal can benefit from Israeli expertise in areas such as textiles and plastic equipment production. He also highlighted Israel's success as a startup nation and encouraged Nepal to promote entrepreneurship and research and development. The interview concluded with a discussion on the implementation of an air service agreement between Nepal and Israel to facilitate direct flights and promote tourism.',

The "learn and earn" program has also helped Nepali farmers upgrade their skills through training and on-the-job experience in Israel. The ambassador emphasized the need for Nepal to modernize its agriculture sector to increase productivity and reduce the number of farmers gradually. He also discussed the positive changes happening in sectors like education, health, and technology in Nepal. However, the volume of trade between the two countries remains low, with most companies setting up offices in neighboring countries like India. The ambassador suggested that Nepal can benefit from Israeli expertise in areas such as textiles and plastic equipment production. He also highlighted Israel's success as a startup nation and encouraged Nepal to promote entrepreneurship and research and development.

Israel has provided thousands of scholarships to Nepali professionals, who study in Israel and then implement their knowledge in Nepal. The "learn and earn" program has also helped Nepali farmers upgrade their skills through training and on-the-job experience in Israel. The ambassador emphasized the need for Nepal to modernize its agriculture sector to increase productivity and reduce the number of farmers gradually. He also discussed the positive changes happening in sectors like education, health, and technology in Nepal. However, the volume of trade between the two countries remains low, with most companies setting up offices in neighboring countries like India. The ambassador suggested that Nepal can benefit from Israeli expertise in areas such as textiles and plastic equipment production. He also highlighted Israel's success as a startup nation and encouraged Nepal to promote entrepreneurship and research and development. The interview concluded with a discussion on the implementation of an air service agreement between Nepal and Israel to facilitate direct flights and promote tourism.',
