DR. TOSHIO KURODA:

Thank you very much. It is and interesting and also very difficult question for me.

The first point I will talk about is the last one because I remember very quickly.

So then, in the last point you are talking about Katmandu. To you, I confer that the environmental issue coming into this year is not fine, Of course, the government has to take policy to prevent the environment problems. I think they also have to invite more the industrial aspect . . .so that's okay. But on the other hand, I'm not saying government should not take forgetting attitude for the development of Katmandu. I'm saying, of course, this should be done, but much more attention should be pinned on the local ones, I mean, the Terai region. In view of the very dominant factor of the poor population, in that case, the Terai region is the only very much capable area in terms of topography. Other than this, its lack of mountains, and of course, hills also, makes it a good one.

I know that from the statistics of the media 60010 or 70010 of the water lands are located in the Terai region. So the people are lagging behind so much in terms of water lands and also in employment opportunity and, of course, mountain area.

So, as is happening, more and more citizens are coming into the Terai region. So, in this case, this country should become more developed, and then that means preventing more industry and more also population going into Katmandu. This is something right, this is a kind of investment. So, I said, too much concentration in big cities like Katmandu, in our case also, in Japan, Tokyo. is too much, but this was the national trend. But I think, in case of Nepal, the government should take a policy to prevent one. It means, the local area, it means, Terai region.

It is just like what happened in Japan. And also in some parts of the not so much developed areas for investments there coming out -- they are going to have more opportunity for the young people. Some of them do not need to go to Tokyo. Even young people who have gone to Tokyo, some will leave again. Now, they are going to have another chance in the local areas where the environment is better and the commodity prices are cheaper. So, they will have no need to go back in that way.

Previously I think, Nepal government should take a stronger policy to emphasize the importance of the Terai region. They need to come to contribute more to the prevention of too much concentration of population in Katmandu. So, that is one way for the government -- they have so many choices.

And then Tokyo has so much about the analysis of the migrant.

Anyway, I further note that the migration statistics are very different. Of the available statistics in connection with the migration we availed of only those, you know. Even in that case, I think, there is a breakdown in terms of types of migrants, you know -- family or individual or sex, and also by age. I think, it might be available. But in my case I just utilized this one.
