Also, the Minister Mahat directed newly appointed ambassadors to yield results by using all available resources, saying that all vacant positions of ambassadors to various countries would be filled soon.

Referring to the countries with a large number of Nepali migrant workers, the minister said that Nepali ambassadors to these countries should put extra efforts to deal with problems and concerns of these workers. “I will make efforts to address the problem if it lacks human resources,” he said.
