At a press briefing held here on Friday, Office Spokesperson Hemraj Aryal has said a circular was issued to all ministries and government entities, making it mandatory to obtain permission from the Office before nominating any employees for a foreign visit. “This system is expected to make the foreign visits further systematic, transparent and austerely,” he added.
