Communist of the world should get united. Hi and welcome to People's Dispatch. We're here with Madhav Kumar Nepal, a former Prime Minister of Nepal and a senior leader of the Communist Party of Nepal. How are you doing? Yes, very good. So one of the achievements of this historic unification process was that the Nepal Communist Party was able to win two-thirds majority in the parliament and now there's a communist majority government. So I was wondering if you could talk about some of the successes of this government over the past year that's been in power and some of the challenges ahead and the road ahead for this government. So one of the visible achievements has been the success in the central as well as the provincial election. And another thing is that comparing the local units election because at the time we were not united so we could not achieve that much of the seat in the local bodies as we could have. If we have been invited, we have been united at the time I hope we may win 70% of the total seat in the local bodies as well. So it gives a clear visible example that this is the benefit of the unity and this is the weakness. This is what we can achieve through unity could not be achieved without unity. And now the second thing is that the government now the government is led by the Communist Party of Nepal. Yes, one chairman, Kamala Vali is the prime minister and we have the government having almost two-thirds of the majority. Another party has been included in the government and it makes two-thirds majority. And now the government has also completed one year of term. It has given one slogan Happy Nepali Pros Pros Nepal so it has very good dream but the first year of the government has been to frame the laws, by-laws and many infrastructures has to be built and created. So it has been said it has been said that the first year is the year of base basic year you can say the year where we have led the foundation legal foundation, structural foundation and some basic orientation towards the future that what we have to go, where we have to go it means how to uplift Nepal from the underdeveloped status to the developing countries status then to the middle income countries status so that sort of plan is there and there is the plan how to eradicate poverty there is the plan to eradicate illiteracy and so we have many such huge plans before us another thing that we have been thinking is Nepal is sandwiched between India and China so why not to play such a role whereby Nepal can be a bridge between India and China these two nations, big nations with huge population and competing among themselves about economic achievement and because of their role in the world economy we have been watching that the world economy is going to shift towards the east and Asia is going to lead the world in terms of economic development and prosperity so here in Asia there is Indonesia in Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, Korea many such countries who are in themselves developing fast so Asia in Asia-Nepal has to take advantage of its own position to be a good attraction for the tourist to visit and place for the investment here that's why Nepal is giving attention to the development of modernization of agriculture Nepal can commercialize its own agriculture and many of the products of Nepal can be exported to other countries number two, Nepal is rich in water resources so we can produce many, it means 100,000 up to 1,000 megawatt of electricity so after Brazil, Nepal is second in terms of water resources so we have to harness our water for electricity for irrigation, for drinking purposes and for other essential things so globally right now there's far-right movements emerging in many different countries sometimes taking office across Europe a lot of extremist groups are emerging that don't have power yet in office but could someday take it and of course we imagine that those forces exist to some extent in Nepal but how has the left been able to deal with these forces how has the left been able to confront these forces in the country we have our two tasks before us one is national task and another is international task all the task is to serve the people to have a world peace in the world live and let live that is the philosophy of Buddha so eternal peace, fraternity and prettiness that sort of message we want to give to the world so we ask the people rather sit down together because war is not in the interest of anyone conflict is not in the interest of anyone terrorism is not in the interest of anyone so quarrel is not in the interest of anyone because this world is a place to live together so the problem has been created by two such things one is man-made another is natural-made so there is a big problem to face the natural disasters and natural calamities there is an environmental problem there is a common problem we have to face together so why we are just having an inmate with each other sort of following up on that how do you see the importance of internationalism among the left and the world among the working class movements the movements of the people as we have mentioned that recently the right wave is blowing in many parts of the world right east even the name of nationalism that sort of thinking has been developing we have been saying and sectarianism is developing there and antique left tendencies are developing here we had to face all these things without facing all these things we cannot defeat that evil thinking, evil trends that is evil thinking, evil trends and that can only be worn by the unity of the world's people so justice-loving people of the world should get united the left force of the world should get united the communist of the world should get united but the united means not to indulge harm to others not to interfere in other affairs rather for the win-win for all for the benefit to all that's why I think that the communist forces, left forces progressive forces the forces of the people should be aware of the evil trends despite our very wise thinking wise thinking the wrong tendencies may appear we have to face all those wrong tendencies and the challenges and challenges can be faced that can be done only with the unity of the left forces well thank you so much for sharing with us that's all we have time for and keep watching People's Dispatch
