The government has nominated Nepal's ambassadors to 21 different
countries, including 13 political appointees and eight joint secretaries
from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Among the 13 political appointees, the ruling parties have carved out
their shares on the basis of their respective strength. Six of the
appointees have been proposed by the CPN-UML, four by UCPN (Maoist) and
three by Rastriya Prajatantra Party-Nepal (RPP-N). The government is yet
to recommend an envoy for Oman, which is to be the share of the Madhesi
People's Rights Forum-Democratic (MPRF-D).
A cabinet meeting on Tuesday recommended the names and they will be

been named for ambassadorial posts are Durga Bahadur Subedi Chhetri for
the United Kingdom, Tara Prasad Pokharel for Brazil, Ramesh Khanal for
Germany, Jhabindra Aryal for Egypt, Sewa Adhikari for Pakistan, Prakash
Subedi for Austria, Lok Bahadur Thapa for Belgium and Rishi Ghimire for
Myanmar.
Those recommended under the UML quota are former foreign minister
Mahendra Bahadur Pandey for China, former minister for general
administration Yubaraj Karki for South Korea, Shiva Maya Tumbahamphe for
Israel, Khadga KC for Japan, Narad Bhardwaj for Sri Lanka and Ali
Akhtar Mikrani for Saudi Arabia.
