Biratnagar, Kathmandu, October 19, 2022: The Ambassador of Pakistan to Nepal, Syed Haider Shah paid a farewell call on the Rt. Honorable Mr. Nanda Bahadur Pun, Vice President of Nepal- the quota.

The outgoing Pakistani Ambassador Haider Shah thanked the Honourable Vice President for his audience and expressed gratitude for his continued support to the Embassy of Pakistan throughout his tenure.

He also recalled Honorable Vice President’s attendance at National and Independence Days Receptions of Pakistan as Chief Guest from Nepal.

During the customary meeting, matters related to mutual interest between the two countries were discussed.

Honorable Vice President appreciated Pakistan’s generous support to Nepalese students for their education in the field of medical and technical education in Pakistan. He also appreciated Ambassador Shah’s active role and initiative in the provision of medical assistance to Nepal during COVID-19 pandemic.

Ambassador Haider Shah also thanked the Honorable Vice President for the relief items sent by the Government of Nepal to Pakistan for flood victims and expressed sincere gratitude for this timely assistance.

Honourable Vice President expressed his best wishes for the outgoing Ambassador as well as his family and Pakistan Embassy’s endeavors in the future.

As expected, the two dignitaries didn’t even raise the issue of the “calculated and designed” killing of the SAARC regional body by the regional bully- the Indian establishment in collaboration with some stooges housed in the SAARC body.

To recall, Nepal and Pakistan are founding members of the SAARC regional body.

At the end of the meeting, Honourable Vice President presented the Ambassador with the traditional Nepali Ceremonial Scarf (Khada) and Dhaka Cap.
