Government to provide $100,000 to AIT, Thailand amid financial crisis

KATHMANDU: The government has decided to provide $100,000 in financial support to the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) in Thailand.

The meeting of the Council of Ministers on Monday evening decided to grant this amount to AIT due to its financial crisis and Nepal’s status as a founding member, according to government spokesperson and Minister for Communications and Information Technology, Prithvi Subba Gurung.

Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli, who is travelling to Thailand this afternoon to attend the 6th summit of the Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral Technical and Economic Cooperation (BIMSTEC), is also scheduled to address a programme at AIT.

PM Oli is undertaking an official visit to Thailand at the friendly invitation of his Thai counterpart, Paetongtarn Shinawatra.
