The Nepal-Britain Chamber of Commerce (NBCC) has officially entered a new chapter following its General Assembly in Kathmandu, where Dr. Roshan Rathi was elected as President for a three-year term. The event brought together high-level representatives from Nepal’s private sector, banking, and industrial landscapes to chart a course for enhanced bilateral trade.

Honoring a Legacy of Leadership

The meeting was presided over by outgoing President Rajendra Kumar Khetan, who was honored with the prestigious title of “President Emeritus.” This recognition celebrates his long-standing contribution to the Chamber and his role in strengthening the institution. Khetan highlighted the promising new opportunities emerging from the reactivation of the UK Department for Business and Trade in Nepal, signaling a more active era of commercial partnership.

A Multidisciplinary Executive Committee

The newly elected committee represents a strategic blend of expertise across finance, multinational corporations, international development, and technology. Notable appointments include:

• President: Dr. Roshan Rathi (LCCI Global Qualifications Pvt. Ltd.)

This diverse group is expected to inject fresh energy into the NBCC’s mission of fostering investment and narrowing the trade gap between the two nations.

A Vision for the Future

Upon his election, Dr. Rathi expressed his commitment to expanding market access and encouraging British investment in Nepal’s growing sectors. Established in 1995, the NBCC has spent 30 years acting as a bridge for policy coordination, technology transfer, and trade delegations. With this new leadership, the Chamber aims to solidify its role as the primary link for sustainable economic growth and long-term private-sector partnerships between Nepal and the United Kingdom.
