The organization said Koirala is committed to making toilets more accessible even in the remotest parts of Nepal.

“When people think of development, they think of classrooms and construction projects. They should also think of toilets, which are fundamental to a community’s growth,” the organization cited the Nepali leader as saying.

In a statement, Hasina said she is “delighted” to join the Festival and share Bangladesh’s unique experience and achievement in education, sanitation, health and women’s empowerment.

Modi is expected to reach New York on September 26 and will address the UN General Assembly the next day, giving his first global speech to an audience of nearly 200 world leaders.

After a grand community reception at the Madison Square Garden on September 28, Modi will head to Washington for his crucial bilateral meeting with President Barack Obama.
