Nepal Prime Minister to Lead Delegation at 2026 UN General Assembly Addressing Climate Issues
Nepal Prime Minister Balendra (Balen) Shah is set to lead the country's delegation to the 2026 United Nations General Assembly in New York. The Cabinet decided on his participation amid recent devastating flash floods in Nepal. Shah is expected to address climate change and flood-related challenges. Preparations are underway, with Shah arriving a day before his speech and departing soon after. Initially, Foreign Minister Shisir Khanal was to lead the delegation, but the urgency of the issues prompted consideration of the Prime Minister's attendance.
