It is also to encourage and foster friendship between the two countries as more and more Nepali Nationals are either migrating to Australia or are coming in numbers for education. Similarly an increasing number of Australians are visiting Nepal mainly as tourist or for humanitarian reasons. The "Nepal Festival 2008" will celebrate Nepal in Australia and will familiarize the Australian public to Nepal and its diversity.
