Kathmandu. Minister for Foreign Affairs Dr Arju Rana Deuba has made it clear that he would cooperate with the newly elected Working Committee of the Non-Resident Nepali Association (NRNA).
Speaking at a programme organised by the High-Level Committee constituted by the Supreme Court to congratulate the working committee led by Mahesh Kumar Shrestha, who was elected from the unity general convention, Minister Rana urged the left-out groups to unite through the same. “We will also cooperate if the working committee elected by the high-level committee should take initiative to include everyone,” she said.
Similarly, Minister Rana pledged that the ministry would also put aside the cases pending in the court in a procedural manner. Stating that NRN’s from all over the world are honorary ambassadors of Nepal, she also appealed to the government to cooperate with the government and support Nepal’s progress. Stating that it was the responsibility of the government to protect nepalis in distress not only in the Middle East, the Gulf but also in different parts of the world, she made it clear that the ministry would move ahead in collaboration with the NRNA in this regard.
On the occasion, Secretary at the Ministry Amrit Bahadur Rai congratulated the current working committee and said that the ministry was ready for collaboration. He also said that he was confident that the present working committee would take initiative for greater unity.
