Nepal's Prime Minister Balendra Shah, commonly referred to as Balen, will not be making any foreign trips during the initial 100 days of his administration, as confirmed by government spokesperson and Minister for Education, Science and Technology, Sasmit Pokharel. This decision follows Balen's assumption of office on March 27, after the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) won a significant majority in the House of Representatives elections on March 5. Pokharel emphasized that the prime minister is dedicated to executing the government's 100-day agenda, stating, 'The prime minister is very much occupied with the 100-day works plan.' He also clarified that there is no connection between the anticipated visit of Rabi Lamichhane, the chairman of the RSP, to India and Prime Minister Balen's plans. Lamichhane is expected to visit India soon, likely around June 1, at the invitation of the Indian government, but this trip is considered separate from the prime minister's focus on domestic priorities.
