Nepal PM Balendra Shah to Address UN on Climate Change and Flood Compensation
Nepal Prime Minister Balendra Shah will address the 81st UN General Assembly session in New York on September 24, marking his first foreign trip since taking office in March. He is expected to highlight climate change issues and seek international compensation following devastating flash floods caused by an ice-rock avalanche near the Nepal-Tibet border on August 26, which killed over 1,300 people and left around 4,900 missing. Preparations involve consultations with experts and diplomatic discussions on climate justice.
