As the Nepalese Forum informed, the topic of tying sister relationship between both cities has been already discussed in the Upper Hutt City Council Meeting in the mid of this October.
“The Mayer of the City Wayne Guppy has agreed to undertake further procedures for the tie-up with Pokhara City, “President Dr. Adhikari said. Besides, the formal communication with Mayer of Pokhara City Man Bahadur GC also has been undergone through letters. The Foreign Affairs Focal Person of Pokhara Metropolitan Office, Laxman Timilsina said, as the procedure for a tie-up, the discussions with stakeholders are going on.
The Sister Relationship between the Pokhara City of Nepal and the Upper Hutt City of New Zealand will promote the exchange and cooperation in areas of the economy, trade, tourism, and culture which will be fruitful to utilize the financial resources available in both cities for mutual benefit.
