On the occasion of unveiling the master plan, Minister for Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation (MoCTCA) of Nepal Bhim Acharya urged the world communities to invest in Lumbini for its conservation and development, whereas secretary at MoCTCA Sushil Ghimire said that the Nepal government is working to make integrated development of Buddhist sites located in Rupandehi, Kapilvastu and Nawalparasi districts. Korean ambassador to Nepal Choe Yong-jin said that the master plan would develop Lumbini as a World Peace City, the pilgrimage destination of the Buddhists all over the world.

The project will be completed in 15 years starting from 2016 in three phases and the estimated cost of the project is expected to be US $ 762 million.
