The arrival of India’s ambassador-designate to Nepal, Jayant Prasad, has been delayed with Nepal’s foreign ministry saying it had no immediate information when he would assume office.
The protocol division of the ministry told IANS that Prasad was to have submitted his credentials to Nepal’s President, Dr Ram Baran Yadav, on Aug 14.
However, with his predecessor Rakesh Sood’s departure fixed only on Thursday, the new envoy’s arrival will now be delayed by almost a fortnight.
Sood’s departure date was formally announced only on Tuesday night after he paid a courtesy call on Prime Minister Jhala Nath Khanal.
Sood will now be posted in Paris as the Indian ambassador there. The delay by the French government in forwarding its agreemo, thanks to public holidays in France, contributed to his delayed departure and Prasad’s delayed arrival.
