Nepal-India Chamber of Commerce and Industry (NICCI) and House of Rajkarnicar (HOR) have entered into a collaboration agreement with the objective of further strengthening trade relations between Nepal and India.

The agreement was signed at a program organized at the NICCI Secretariat on Tuesday. Under this agreement, NICCI has been recognized as the official Industry Partner for the upcoming “Food & Beverage and Hospitality B2B Trade Show” to be held in the historic and religious city of Varanasi, India.

The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed by Rajan Sharma, Secretary General of NICCI, and Minu Rajkarnicar, Managing Director of House of Rajkarnicar, on behalf of their respective organizations.

This collaboration is expected to create new opportunities for businesses in the food, beverage, tourism, and hospitality sectors of Nepal and India. Through the exhibition, entrepreneurs, investors, and business organizations from both countries are expected to gain an important platform for expanding direct business connections and partnerships.

The partnership between NICCI and House of Rajkarnicar is being viewed as a positive step toward elevating Nepal-India economic and commercial relations to new heights. It is also believed that this collaboration and exhibition will further strengthen cross-border trade, promote investment, and enhance cooperation between private-sector stakeholders.

The international trade exhibition to be held in Varanasi is expected to bring together Nepali food and hospitality industries under one roof, while also providing fresh momentum to regional economic cooperation.
