KATHMANDU: French Ambassador to Nepal, Virginie Corteval, has conveyed her sorrow regarding the loss of life and property caused by recent floods and landslides, extending her condolences to the Nepali government and its people.
During a reception celebrating the educational partnership between Nepal and France at her residence last evening, Ambassador Corteval expressed her distress over the tragic impact of the natural disaster.
She affirmed that both the French government and its citizens stand in solidarity with Nepal during this difficult time.
Additionally, she highlighted the potential for strengthening ties between France and Nepal through education, particularly through the educational fair aimed at Nepali students aspiring to study in France.
The event, titled “Choose France Tour Nepal 2024,” took place on September 28 at the Alliance Française in Pulchowk, Lalitpur, as part of the French government’s initiative.
It offered various opportunities for advanced studies, including Ph.D. programs and scholarships at prestigious French institutions.
Representatives from 17 leading universities, including Grandes Ecoles, showcased programs in diverse fields such as management, engineering, humanities, arts, architecture, and design.
The fair, organized by the French Embassy in Nepal in partnership with Campus France, also provided valuable resources like counseling sessions, scholarship details, visa application guidance, and insights into life as a student in France.
