Observing the democratic elections to the State Duma, the lower house of the Russian parliament, is a privilege, Man Bahadur Karki, head of Nepal's election commission, said on Saturday.
"I would like to say that it's a privilege to take part in observing these democratic elections," Karki said at a conference entitled "Elections in the Era of Turbulence," hosted by the Russian Central Election Commission in Moscow.
Such an international forum is very important, since no country can develop on its own, and Nepal is interested in studying the practices and innovations of other countries, the Nepalese chief election commissioner said.
Karki shared his experience of holding elections during a pandemic, economic uncertainty, cyberattacks and disinformation. He added that the Nepalese electoral commission successfully held elections during an unsettled time for his country.
Elections to the lower house of the Russian parliament, along with other concurrent elections, are taking place in Russia from September 18-20. In total, 20,700 parliamentary seats and elected offices are expected to be filled. President Vladimir Putin has called the parliamentary elections the most important domestic political event.
