event

Aarohan, a Sanskrit and Nepali term signifying “The Ascent” or “Rising Upwards” is the official theme and title for the 11th NRNA Asia Pacific Regional Conference 2026. Following the successful organization of previous conferences such as Milap (Bangkok, 2022) and Sangam (Cambodia, 2025), Aarohan 2026 represents the Nepali diaspora’s collective journey toward greater economic influence, professional excellence, strengthened national identity, and meaningful contribution to Nepal’s development.

Hosted in Guangzhou, the global commercial and trade hub of southern China, this high impact conference will bridge the skilled and resourceful Nepali diaspora in the Asia Pacific region with emerging investment and tourism opportunities in Nepal. It will also focus on fostering deeper generational links with second-generation Nepalis.

The two day conference is expected to attract over 600 delegates, including NRNA leaders, investors, business persons, diplomats, government officials, and youth representatives. Key outcomes will include targeted B2B networking, policy dialogue, knowledge transfer, cultural exchange, and the adoption of the “Guangzhou Declaration 2026”.

This proposal presents a comprehensive framework aligned with NRNA’s core objectives and Nepal’s national development priorities.
