KATHMANDU: Japan’s Ambassador to Nepal, Kikuta Yutakahas congratulated Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba for his appointment and the successful vote of confidence at the Parliament.
The Ambassador had expressed his congratulations and best wishes for the successful tenure of PM Deuba.
Ambassador Yutakahas has said that Nepal and Japan have been enjoying excellent bilateral relations based on the long history of mutual friendship and cooperation since the establishment of diplomatic relations in 1956.
“The history of people-to-people exchange between Japan and Nepal is even longer, as next year 2022 marks the 120th anniversary of student-exchanges since eight Nepali students travelled to Japan for study in 1902,” the Embassy of Japan has said.
“We strongly believe that Japan and Nepal will be able to overcome this COVID-19 pandemic together; the Government of Japan has been supporting medical equipment for hospitals and just announced to donate about 1.6 million doses of Japanese-made COVID-19 AstraZeneca vaccine for Nepal as a grant through COVAX facility,” he said.
According to him, Japan will work with Nepal to save lives of Nepali people and the post-COVID society and economy of Nepal.
