Nepal-France Relations: 63 Years of Steady Friendship

Sixty three years have passed since Nepal and France established diplomatic relations on 20 April 1949. France is number 5 in the list of countries with whom Nepal has diplomatic relations and our relation is based on true friendship, mutual understanding and cooperative spirits. Despite a geographical distance of 9,000 kms plus, both countries have been enjoying cordial relations. Nepalese and French people harbor a sense of deep affection and amity which is being nurtured by the passage of time.

Exchange of visits that have taken place at the highest level in the past have contributed to strengthen the level of friendship between our two countries. Notable visit was that of late French President Francois Mitterand to Nepal in May 1983. Similarly, our late Prime Minister G.P. Koirala paid an official visit to France in 2002 from our side.( Mohan Krishna Shrestha )

Toys from France bring joy to refugee children in Nepal

Conditions might be relatively tough in eastern Nepal's Beldangi refugee camp, but for the past week or so the children there have been walking around with big happy faces.
