Guided by this year’s theme, “Justice in Action: Beyond Promises to Progress,” the Forum will convene diverse voices to exchange perspectives and explore pathways toward a more just, balanced and sustainable world.

Mubarak Ajlan Al-Kuwari, Executive Director of Doha Forum, said: “At a time of profound global change, Doha Forum continues to serve as a neutral and inclusive platform for dialogue and diplomacy. By bringing together diverse perspectives, we aim to strengthen mutual understanding and foster solutions that advance the common good.”

Vehicular movement along the Barpak-Laprak section in Gorkha has been closed from today.

The road linking Barpak of Barpak Sulikot Rural Municipality-1 and Laprak of Dharche Rural Municipality-4 has been closed for two days from today for its upgrading.
