The Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that Nepali tea exports to India have become smoother after diplomatic efforts led to the Indian Tea Board revising a directive that had previously disrupted shipments. Spokesperson Lok Bahadur Poudel Chhetri stated that coordination between the Nepali Embassy in New Delhi and the ministry was instrumental in convincing India to amend the directive.

  • The issue arose from a directive issued by the Tea Board of India, which has now been amended.
  • The third meeting of the Nepal-China Project Implementation Mechanism is scheduled for June in Kathmandu, co-chaired by Nepal’s Foreign Secretary and the Chinese Ambassador.
  • Nepal will also host bilateral consultation meetings with Norway and Switzerland during the same period.
  • Rescue operations continue for Nepalis trapped in illegal online scam centers in Cambodia, Myanmar, Laos, and Thailand, with 687 individuals repatriated so far.
  • Efforts are underway to provide legal support to 29 Nepalis imprisoned in Cambodia and to secure the release of those detained in Myanmar.
