Speaking at the Lahore Chamber of Commerce & Industry (LCCI) on Wednesday, Sewa Lamsal Adhikari said: "Nepal is a virgin land for investors and there exist a lot of investment opportunities for Pakistani investors. Now is the right time for Pakistani businessmen to invest in the fields of infrastructure, agriculture, sports, specifically in hydropower sector.
She also said that work on Free Trade Agreement (FTA) between Nepal and Pakistan is well on the way. She added that lack of direct flight between the two countries and long route through India is coming in the way of two-way trade expansion.

LCCI President Almas Hyder assured his full support for the promotion of cultural and trade ties between the two countries.
