"It so happens that I lived in Nepal for several years. This was just at the time when the Nepalese people, with great effort, had begun trying to bring about change and improve their political system. At the time, nearly 20 years ago, I viewed this with great optimism. It has turned out that this process is much more difficult than any of us would have imagined. Nepal is, after all, a country with great cultural riches and history. The Nepalese people are profound and serious in their religion. They are a people of peace, and have a peaceful outlook on the world. We are talking, here, about Nepal’s huge economic potential. There is no economic potential in Nepal. It is a dramatic country which has practically no natural resources. In addition, it is subject to droughts and earthquakes. It is trying hard. It is in such a difficult situation, too, because it is, after all, crushed between two huge and very difficult neighbours. If we do not give Nepal all the help it needs, both political and material, it may end up like Tibet, and that would be an enormous and tragic loss for us all."@en1
