THE BRITAIN-NEPAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
. The BRITAIN-NEPAL CHAMBER of COMMERCE ("BNCC" or "the
Chamber") is an independent association of companies and
individuals, wishing to increase the level and quality of
trade between Britain and Nepal and to assist other people who
intend to initiate or foster business between Britain and
Nepal.
. The Chamber is increasing awareness of the opportunities
for trade with Nepal, so that the Economy of Nepal is less
dependent on aid, and one slogan of the BNCC is "Trade not
Aid".
. The Chamber enjoys a close relationship with the
Britain-Nepal Society, which is interested in the non-business
aspects of British Nepalese relations. We share many members
in common.
. BNCC wishes to co-operate with DFID,
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office and UK Trade and
Investment (DTI) in the UK, the
British Embassy in Kathmandu, and the Nepal Britain Chamber of
Commerce and Industry. The Chamber is represented on the
Council for Foreign Chambers of Commerce in London.
. The Chamber embraces Nepalis in Britain whose experience
of international business can benefit their compatriots in
Nepal. It seeks to publicize the ideas and recommendations put
forward by members and supporters which might contribute to a
positive inflow of foreign currency for Nepal. This in turn
can improve the balance of payments and strengthen the
currency of Nepal.
. An award is offered each year for the best proposal for
increasing trade in Nepal from a student member of the Chamber
(under the age of 25) and associate membership of the Chamber
is available to both Nepalese and British students . The
"Student Chapter" of the Chamber can convene additional
meetings as well as attending the regular meetings organized
by the Chamber.
. The Chamber's executive committee usually meets on the
first Wednesday of every alternate month and organizes four
general meetings per annum at which a guest speaker might talk
about an aspect of Business and general discussions take
place. This enables the members present to meet and talk to
the other individuals and corporate entities interested in
business opportunities within both Nepal and Britain.
. The programme of meetings is published each January in
the Chamber's annual Newsletter and the activities
of the Chamber are noted on the Chamber's website
here.
. A list of corporate members appears on this website and
the individual members can be listed if they specifically
request this (along with their specialist sector of business
e.g. Accountant, Estate Agent,
Finance, Food, Drink and Restaurants,
Insurance, Leasing, Solicitor,
Travel and Leisure).
. Where there is shown to be a potential benefit to either
the British or Nepalese Economies, the Chamber aims to assist
the Nepalese community in Britain as
well as British
businesses wishing to establish or already established in
Nepal. The interchange of information and ideas is intended to
be of mutual benefit to both economies.
If you wish to do business in Nepal, joining
the BNCC is a worthwhile investment!
