KATHMANDU: The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Dr. Arzu Rana Deuba, has emphasized the significance of keeping the Nepali embassies in Israel and Lebanon updated on the well-being of their compatriots living there. She gave officials advice in a video conference with Nepali diplomats to closely monitor the situation as it unfolds and maintain constant communication with Nepali nationals residing in that country.
Dr. Rana gave the ambassadors instructions to arrange for the rescue and facilitation of Nepali citizens in the event that they need to return home. She emphasized how crucial it is to plan ahead and be ready for such situations in order to protect Nepalis living overseas.
To help Nepalis in need of assistance and coordination, the minister formally notified the embassies in Israel and Lebanon, instructing them to designate contact individuals and set up help stations. With this effort, citizens in these nations who are suffering difficulties will have access to a network of support.
The ambassador of Nepal to Egypt, Sushil Lamsal, gave updates on the situation in Lebanon. According to his assessment, there are currently about 1,200 Nepalis living in Lebanon, mostly working as domestic help. Only three persons contacted the embassy, and all of them were verified as safe, so it doesn't appear that these folks are dealing with any serious problems, according to Lamsal.
Although there haven't been any problems reported by Nepalis living in Lebanon, Lamsal noticed that their relatives in Nepal were raising worries. This emphasizes the fear and concern that family members frequently have when their loved ones are in potentially unstable areas.
Approximately 4,500 Nepalis are safely residing in Israel, according to Charge d'affaires Kumar Shrestha's report. With the ongoing tensions in the area, this pledge helps allay concerns about Nepalis' safety.
Updates on the situation in Iran were also provided by other diplomatic envoys, such as Nepal's ambassador to Pakistan, Tapas Adhikari, who ensured that all of Nepal's people in the region were covered.
All things considered, Dr. Rana's orders demonstrate the government's proactive stance in protecting its nationals overseas, particularly during times of turmoil. The Nepalese government seeks to protect the welfare and security of its citizens abroad by pushing embassies to set up efficient lines of communication and support networks.
