On the occasion, Ms Laura Lugbauer, representing the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany informed that Germany will always cooperate with Nepal to enhance its education, and technology among others.

Moreover, she praised that Nepal is on the right track in providing academic training in the engineering sector. “I am delighted to see such a huge number of enthusiastic students dedicated to learning the German language. This will eventually lead students one step closer to Germany and international exposure,” she said.

Woitsch, Director of the GZK, shared a short history behind the name Goethe and how it reflects the diverse culture and arts of the nation. “Goethe is a leading language center and is a part of an incredible network of more than 200 institutes of the world,” he added.
