Kathmandu: A four-member delegation of the Finnish journalists visited Nepal for a week.

The media men from Finland have already left for their home country last Sunday.

The weeklong visit to Nepal had been organized by the Information Office of the Finnish ministry of foreign affairs and was led by the head of the information section of the said ministry, Ms. Outi Einola.

Others who comprised the team were Mr. Leif Olsson (Aamulehti newspaper); Ms. Susanna Andersson (Toimittaga news agency) and Paivi Alasuutari of the Kaleva Oulu daily newspaper.

The team while in Nepal visited some sites wherein some of the irrigation and water supply projects have been operating through the Finnish assistance.

At the last leg of their stay in Kathmandu, the Finnish journalists paid a courtesy call on the President of the Federation of Nepalese Journalists, Mr. Suresh Acharya, and asked about the laws and the regulations that regulated the right to information in Nepal.

The Finnish delegation also wished to know about the ongoing impasse in the Nepalese parliament and understandably about the Maoists insurgency.

During the talks at the FNJ, the visiting Finnish delegation assured the FNJ president that they will be of some help in bringing some Finnish media organizations closer to the Nepalese FNJ so that the media men of the two countries could work together in the future.

The Nepalese side appreciated the Finnish support being extended to Nepal and hoped that it would continue in the future as well.

The chief editor of the Telegraph weekly who is also the looking after the International relations committee at the FNJ coordinated the whole affair.
