President of the Swiss National Council Rt. Hon. Pierre-André Page recently visited flood-affected areas in Bidur, Nuwakot, where he met with local communities and engaged with local authorities to assess the impact of the floods and ongoing recovery efforts.
According to a social media post by the Embassy of Switzerland in Nepal, the visit also focused on understanding the challenges faced by affected communities and discussing future measures to strengthen disaster resilience.
Following the devastating flood in August, Switzerland mobilised USD 2 million in humanitarian assistance to support relief efforts in Nepal. It also deployed Swiss experts to contribute to safe reconstruction and strengthen disaster risk management.
The visit highlighted Switzerland’s continued support for Nepal’s recovery efforts and its cooperation in building resilience against future disasters.
