Foreign Minister Upendra Yadav
Foreign Minister Upendra Yadav has said that ambassadors and officials at diplomatic missions in the country must inform the Foreign Ministry before they meet with prime minister or political leaders.
Referring to the practice of meeting between diplomats and leaders without notifying the Ministry, the Minister said that from now onwards there must be a presence of a representative from the Ministry when such meetings take place.

He said so talking to reporters in Bhairahawa on Monday.

Soon after he became Foreign Minister, Yadav had been pointing at the need to regulate the meeting between leaders and diplomats.

In the past, often times Foreign Ministry officials used to complain that they were in the dark about various meetings diplomats were having with country’s leaders. nepalnews.com sd Nov 11 08
