Kathmandu, Nepal: The government has decided to recommend the names of 14 persons for appointment as Nepali ambassadors in various countries.
A second cabinet meeting held on Monday evening made the decision to recommend on the basis of share among the allies of the incumbent government. Interestingly, Madhesi Janadhakar Forum-Democratic led by Bijaya Kumar Gachhadar has got a share in the ambassadorial position.
The decision to include the Madhesi Janadhakar Forum-Democratic in the share distributed among the government allies is taken as the preparations to include the party in the government. There was a speculation that Gachchhadar was being tried to appoint as the Deputy Prime Minister (DPM).
According to the office of the Prime Minister and council of minister, the persons and the country recommended for the ambassador are as following.
Yuba Nath Lamsal for Denmark
