Binod Dhungel, Kathmandu-based consulting editor of BNS is currently participating in the event that ends Nov 29.
Talking over the Skype from Ashgabat, Dhungel informed BNS that the first day event went successful, and that he was excited to introduce BNS—its activities, among others to the participants.
At least 50 participants, including sports media experts, sports business firms and sports journalist from across the world—a majority from Asia—are participating in the event, according to Dhungel.
“We are very thankful to the organizer and its partners, International Sports Press Association (AIPS) and Jon Tibbs Associates (JTA) for providing us this opportunity,” said Buddha Dhakal, chief editor of BNS. “We are equally thankful to Dhungel who accepted our request to represent us in the event.”
Although BNS has participated in several other trainings and seminars in Kathmandu, Nepal where BNS office was stationed for years, this is the first event it has participated outside of Nepal.
