Kathmandu, December 9

Nilamber Acharya, who has been nominated for Nepal’s Ambassador to India, has said it takes a lot of hard work to improve Nepal-India relations.

Speaking at a hearing session of the Parliamentary Hearing Special Committee on Sunday, Acharya said, “There is only one formula: erasing doubts and building trust.”

He reiterated that open communication would be instrumental to ensure that change.

On the occasion, the former minister said he agreed to take up the assignment even in his 70s after realising that a senior personality must be there to handle the multidimensional relations.

“I am not taking it as a paid job,” he said, “The Nepal-India ties are challenging, and I have understood its seriousness.”

“I think I can do something. I am ready to take up the job.”

The Committee is likely to endorse Acharya for the position after the meeting.
