Nepal has been elected as a member of the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) for 2024-2026.
The Permanent Mission of Nepal to the UN in New York stated that Nepal was elected a member of the ECOSOC with the highest number of 145 votes from the Asia-Pacific Group in the elections held on June 8 in New York.
“With 145 votes, Nepal is elected as a member of the ECOSOC for the term 2024-2026. We thank the member states for electing us. We look forward to working closely with all to achieve the 2030 agenda,” the Permanent Mission of Nepal to the UN tweeted.
