KATHMANDU, MAY 2
The British Embassy in Kathmandu marked the official birthday of His Majesty King Charles III with a celebratory event on Thursday, hosted by Ambassador Rob Fenn and Mrs Julia Fenn.
Vice President Ram Sahaya Prasad Yadav attended the reception as chief guest, joining government officials, political leaders, diplomats, Chevening scholars, development partners, academics, and media representatives.
The celebration highlighted another year of the enduring UK-Nepal relationship, following the visit of the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh in February. The event honored long-standing ties in areas such as people-to-people connections, the role of Gurkhas, trade and investment, education collaboration, and development partnerships, according to the press release issued by the British Embassy in Kathmandu.
Speaking at the event, Ambassador Fenn said , "Nepal's progress is attracting global attention. In London – for example – financiers are starting to talk about Nepal as an attractive destination for investment. They have a sentimental attachment to Nepal, recently refreshed by a spectacular visit to the country by the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh – who have been raving about Nepal's friendliness and beauty ever since."
The King's Birthday also serves as a celebration of the UK's National Day.
