Kathmandu - Minister for Foreign Affairs, Pradeep Kumar Gyawali, has said that the government was fully informed and aware of the Nepalis stranded abroad, and that it would start the process of bringing them back home once the situation turned favourable. Minister Gyawali said this in a video conference call on Monday with the Non-Resident Nepalis Association (NRNA) presidents of countries hardest hit by COVID-19 pandemic.

In this connection, the Minister talked to the NRNA presidents in 11 countries and heard the concern and the situation of the Nepali communities there. He informed the Nepali community abroad, through the NRNA presidents, that it was not immediately possible to rescue and bring home the Nepalis stranded abroad as the lockdown period has been extending in Nepal.
