Kathmandu. Sri Lanka's proposed Nepali Ambassador Dr. Manchala Kumari Jha has pledged to transform the relationship between Nepal and Sri Lanka into an economic partnership. Presenting her work plan at the parliamentary hearing committee meeting, she has prioritized tourism, Ramayana Circuit, Buddhist heritage, and trade promotion. She emphasized that the relationship between the two countries should be based on the principle of Panchsheel and shared cultural heritage. She stated that diplomatic achievement would be achieved only by connecting the Ramayana tradition of Janakpur and the Buddhist heritage of Lumbini with the Sri Lankan public. For her four-year term, she has made tourism connectivity and air network her first pillar. Under this, the feasibility of direct or charter flights from Sri Lanka to bring pilgrims targeting Lumbini Airport will be explored. The second pillar aims to promote the Ramayana Circuit and the third Buddhist heritage. The fourth pillar includes promoting trade and investment, cooperation between the private sectors, and protecting the interests of Nepalis in Sri Lanka. Clarifying that she will move forward by embracing the government's policies and programs and national interests, she said, 'The relationship between Nepal and Sri Lanka is based on Buddhist philosophy, religion, and shared civilization.' She also presented a plan to coordinate with the government and private sectors of both sides to solve the problem of high airfare and limited direct contact. She stated that the presented work plan is only a preliminary draft and will be further refined based on the suggestions of the members of parliament.
