Government Faces Challenges in Appointing 13 Ambassadors After 100 Days
Summary
The Nepalese government has completed 100 days without appointing 13 ambassadors, facing challenges in the selection process after recalling previous ambassadors and opening applications.
Key Points
- The current Nepalese government has completed 100 days without appointing 13 ambassadors despite publicizing other achievements.
- Seventeen ambassadors were previously recalled by successive governments, leaving many embassies led by acting charges for 10 months.
- Applications for 13 ambassadorial positions received over 4,000 applicants, with 2,700 shortlisted for selection.
- The delay is attributed to the political nature of appointments, the high volume of applicants, and the rigorous process of vetting candidates as per the Ambassador Appointment Directive, 2075 BS.
