Undefined

Nepal has taken over as Chair of the Global Coordination Bureau of the Least Developed Countries (LDCs) after five years of stewardship by Malawi.

At a ceremony at the United Nations Headquarters in New York City on April 5, the Permanent Representative of Malawi, Amb. Agnes Chimbiri-Molande, handed the chairmanship to Amb. Amrit Bahadur Rai of Nepal.

The Bureau is mandated to promote and protect the interests of LDCs, which are low-income countries confronting severe structural impediments to sustainable development.
