The Cabinet has decided to take ownership of the 15-bed community hospital based in Syangja. The government has also decided to send a team to the Chinese Capital, Beijing, to hold discussions on the protocol of Nepal-China trade and transit agreement and sign the agreement.  

According to Minister Banskota, the government has decided to allow the Ministry of Finance to increase the threshold of deposit guarantee. The Cabinet has also decided to approve the land revenue (7^th amendment) regulations-2075, Nepal Army Service (first amendment) Regulations-2075.
