The Chairman of Britain-Nepal Chamber of Commerce, Mr Rajen Kandel said, ‘The committee and sub-committee will surely make this event happen soon.’
Moreover, Mr Rajen Kandel, also focused on the issue of the increasing number of Nepalese in the UK which has made the appointment of The Ambassador the most crucial area of concern. Mr Kandel further mentioned that, ‘We are facing difficulties due to the lack of resources in the Nepalese Embassy London which has made me raise the urgent need of The Ambassador in London and some additional manpower at the Embassy.’
The issue raised by Mr Rajen Kandel was addressed by the Foreign Minister, Hon Mr Mahendra Pandey and assured the team that the appointment of The Ambassador is on process and this issue will be ended in a short time. The best team will be appointed to handle the Diplomatic affairs.
