Lamsal said: “On behalf of the Government of Nepal, the Nepalese people, and the entire Embassy family, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the Government of Kuwait for its support and solidarity with us in this difficult moment, during which the devastating floods caused heavy losses in lives, property, and several key infrastructure facilities.”
He added that his country views the Kuwaiti stance as a manifestation of the growing friendship between the two countries, reaffirming Nepal’s appreciation for the sentiments expressed by friends and partners toward the Nepalese people in these difficult circumstances. Regarding the situation of Kuwaiti citizens in Nepal, the Ambassador confirmed that there were no reports of any Kuwaiti citizen being a victim of the disaster.
Regarding the impact of the floods on tourism, Lamsal said the disaster “will certainly have an effect,” which may be limited in terms of the number of tourists arriving at affected areas, but he expressed optimism that this impact would be short-lived.
He confirmed that travel to Nepal is still proceeding normally, noting that major international airports, including Tribhuvan International Airport, Gautam Buddha International Airport, and Pokhara International Airport, are operating smoothly, and there are no obstacles to tourists arriving through many designated land border entry points.
The Ambassador expressed optimism about his country’s ability to overcome the repercussions of the floods and restore tourism activity, emphasizing that international travel to Nepal continues despite the damage to affected areas.
