The Parliamentary Hearing Special Committee on Tuesday unanimously endorsed three names recommended by the government for Nepal’s ambassadors to various countries.
A meeting of the Committee held today unanimously endorsed the names of Durga Prasad Bhandari nominated for Kuwait, Bhrigu Dhungana nominated for Canada, and Mani Prasad Bhattarai nominated for the United Nations in Geneva.
They are working as joint secretaries at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs currently. Not a single complaint was filed against them at the committee.
