Kathmandu: A French TV journalist of international standing is arriving Nepal this Thursday.

Ms. Sophie Le’ Bars is at the moment associated with the Canal Francaise International or other wise the CFI- a popular Television channel in France.

Ms. Sophie is the head of the Asia division of the CFI.

The French television journalist during her weeklong tenure in Kathmandu is expected to pay courtesy call on some of the prominent media men who head the government owned media institutions such as Nepal Television and the likes.

The CFI, to recall, had initiated some contacts with the Nepal Television a few years back. However, what progresses were achieved since then has not been made public.

Ms. Sophi has come at a time when Nepal’s Prime Minister is all set to pay an official visit to her country. However, the fate of the Nepalese Prime Minister continues to be in a limbo. The opposition is demanding Prime Minister Koirala’s resignation on his alleged involvement in the Lauda Air procurement procedures.
