It has been decided to establish a sister relationship between the Merribeke City Council of the Australian state of Victoria and the Bharatpur Metropolitan Municipality. These two local bodies are going to become each other's 'City Sister'. With this decision, Bharatpur Metropolitan Municipality has become the first Nepalese local authority to establish a sister relationship with Australian local authority.
The Merribeque Council here has passed the resolution to establish sisterhood from the council meeting held two days ago. The proposal made by Councilor Chris Miles was passed unanimously by Mayor Helen Davidson, opening the way for cooperation between the two local bodies.
Nepalis in Victoria have been taking initiatives for this for a long time. Neerajan Gowli, unpaid consul in Victoria, said that for the first time, sisterhood relationship has been established between the two cities of Nepal and Australia. Gowli said that this is an important and very positive step in bilateral relations between Nepal and Australia. "This will not only help us to learn from Australia, but it will help to make the relationship between the two countries stronger and stronger." It is mentioned that the consulate will coordinate for this.
With the establishment of mutual relations between the two local bodies, there will be an opportunity to know and learn more about cultural, sustainable development, mutual relations. A meeting of the representatives of the two bodies will be held soon to formalize and sign an MoU for this. It will be formalized after a meeting of the representatives of the two bodies is agreed upon. Immigrant Nepalese consider cooperation with the local body of Nepal as a big achievement of the council of the state of Victoria, which is one of the largest and most developed, where more than 50,000 Nepalese live.
After the establishment of sisterly relations, the local bodies of both countries will exchange knowledge about the operation of each other's bodies and resource mobilization through mutual visits and will also work on resource management and development and cooperation. It is said that cooperation will be easy since both the countries are running three levels of government. Consul Gowli says that Nepal can learn a lot because Australia is experienced in the practice of three-level government.
Meribek Council under the City of Moreland Local Government has a population of 181,000 and this council has established sister relations with cities in China, Italy, East Timor, Greece and Turkey.
