Kathmandu: The Delegation of the European Union to Nepal hosted an event to celebrate Europe Day on Thursday. Europe Day officially falls on May 9th, and marks the adoption of the Schuman Declaration, which in 1950 laid the foundations of what would later become the European Union. The occasion holds special significance this year as it is 75 years since the signing of the Declaration.
The program featured a presentation on a youth-centered environmental campaign, reflecting the European Union’s commitment to sustainability and youth engagement in Nepal.
The Nepali Army Band performed the national anthems of Nepal and the European Union, symbolizing their longstanding friendship and cooperation.
Speaking on the occasion, Veronique Lorenzo, Ambassador of the European Union to Nepal, said “Nepal is a trusted partner of the European Union. Through our Global Gateway initiative, we support Nepal’s prosperity agenda, working together with EU Member States and European Development Finance Institutions.” The Ambassador further said “As global challenges grow, so does the EU’s determination to remain a reliable, consistent, and principled partner.”
