The Committee for Development Policy (CDP) has accepted Nepal\u2019s request to withhold its least developed country (LDC) graduation, reports The Himalayan Times<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

Nepal had previously made a request to the CDP to not upgrade Nepal\u2019s LDC status to the league of developing nations until 2021 citing that the country is not prepared for the graduation and another triennial review should be carried out in 2021.<\/p>\n

CDP is a subsidiary advisory body of the United Nations<\/a> Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC).<\/p>\n
