PM Modi hails Sushila Karki becoming first woman Prime Minister of Nepal

Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated Sushila Karki on her appointment as the first woman Prime Minister of Nepal, calling it a milestone for women empowerment in the region. Modi said her rise to the top post reflects the strength and leadership of women in South Asia.

Karki, who previously served as the first female Chief Justice of Nepal, has been a prominent figure in the country’s judiciary and political landscape. Her appointment marks a historic moment, breaking a long standing barrier in Nepal’s political system.

Leaders from across the region have extended their wishes, highlighting the significance of her role in shaping Nepal’s democratic journey. Political analysts say Karki’s leadership will be closely watched as Nepal navigates economic challenges and seeks to strengthen ties with neighboring countries.

India and Nepal share close cultural and political bonds, and Modi’s message underlined the importance of cooperation between the two nations. Observers believe Karki’s appointment could open new avenues for regional collaboration and inspire more women to take up leadership roles.
