Shah went to the UN to speak for Nepal, then left before he could make the most of it

Prime Minister Shah traveled to the United Nations to represent Nepal during a time of global sympathy for the country. Rather than staying to leverage diplomatic opportunities and engage in international discussions, Shah chose to depart and fly home early.

According to analysis, this decision meant Nepal missed a valuable opportunity on the global stage. Observers noted that the situation required a leader willing to actively work the diplomatic rooms rather than cutting the trip short.
