Prime Minister Balendra Shah (Balen) is set to hold a collective discussion today with ambassadors from various countries. This will be the first such meeting since the formation of the government.
The discussion, scheduled to take place after 12 noon, will also be attended by Foreign Minister Shishir Khanal. Through the meeting, the government aims to brief the international community on its priorities, policies, and the current political situation of the country.
The government has viewed this initiative as an effort to manage and institutionalize diplomatic relations in a more systematic manner. The meeting signals a shift toward prioritizing formal and collective dialogue over individual access.
According to the Prime Minister’s political advisor Asim Shah, past practices of unusual access and frequent visits by ambassadors will be regulated this time. The government is preparing to adopt a new diplomatic approach that emphasizes transparency and balance.
