Gandaki Communication and Information Technology Minister Prithvi Subba Gurung has said that there is cooperation between the two major parties to maintain economic development and good governance along with political stability.
At the meeting of leaders of the Communist Party of Nepal (UML) organized by Kaski today in Pokhara, he said, “The current government has been formed to instill the hope of development in the people. The government will address the problems facing the country.”

He said that the old communication policies and laws will be revised, maximum use of information technology has been emphasized according to the concept of ‘Digital’ Nepal.
