Can Nepal Realise Ocean Dream?

It was in 2073 that KP Sharma Oli, Prime Minister at that time, also declared that Nepali ships would be sailing the Pacific Ocean in no time. He also made it a slogan during the 2074 elections. At the time, the people believed him, dreaming of the Nepali-flagged ships sailing the Pacific Ocean. They also saw a visionary leader in the Prime Minister. To turn his ocean dream into a reality, the Nepal Shipping Office was also set up. The shipping office was inaugurated by the Prime Minister on Falgun 2, 2075. The objectives of the office are to manage and organise cruising ships across the Indian and Pacific Oceans. It may be noted that the office was established under the Ministry of Physical Infrastructure and Transportation through a cabinet decision.
