In Conclusion: Despite facing hurdles, the Nepali football team's journey to Europe signifies a significant milestone in their international sports endeavors.

K.P. Oli Vows to Continue Active Politics for Another 20 Years to Lead the Country on the Right Path Kathmandu — CPN-UML Chairman and former Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli has emphasized the current necessity to lead the country towards good governance and development. Addressing the 11th district convention of CPN-UML Kaski on Friday, Chairman Oli announced his intention to remain active in politics for another 20 years to further advance the country on the right path. “CPN-UML is now in a new political scenario. But the party exists. The party has its own policies. The party has its own goals. Without deviating from our goals and policies, in the current situation, it is essential to build national strength, lead the country towards good governance and development, and restore culture and cultural values,” Chairman Oli said. He added, “In the past, someone used to think of a Nepal without CPN-UML, and someone used to think of a Nepal without K.P. Oli. But now, such thoughts won't work – I have said this before, 'Even if the jungle turns dark, I've ploughed my own field. This is not a planted crop; I've sown it myself. Even if others don't have hope, I do. CPN-UML will continue to sit at the forefront and will usher this country forward, eliminating poverty and hunger, even if it's just a bit, CPN-UML will find the time to sit in peace." He also commented on the strength of UML under his leadership. He directed party workers to focus on organizational development, emphasizing on winning the majority alone in the 2028 elections. In the new political scenario, there is a necessity for CPN-UML to remain and lead the country on the path of national strength building, good governance, and development, as per his statement.

Using the names of various INGOs, they invest in conversion efforts, making Christianity their primary objective. The American embassy periodically issues statements, alleging "persecution of Christians in Nepal," expressing concerns. Due to the unstable politics and ineffective leadership of the country, Nepal's status has fallen to the bottom tier of the world's most backward countries on the global stage.
