Udas presents his letter of credence

Kathmandu, June 30:

Ambassador of Nepal to Myanmar Bhim K. Udas Thursday presented his letter of credence to President of Myanmar U Htin Kyaw at a special function at the President Office in Nay Pyi Taw.

Accepting Udas’ credential, President Kyaw hoped that the cordial and friendly diplomatic relations existed between Myanmar and Nepal since 1960 would further strengthen during his tenure.

“The President stated that his government would extend necessary support to improve relations between the two countries,” the Embassy of Nepal in Myanmar said in a press statement.

Kyaw expressed his interest to visit Nepal and Lumbini, the birth place of Lord Buddha, and asked Udas to convey his congratulations to Prime Minister of Nepal Sher Bahadur Deuba.

Udas said that Nepal would like to develop bilateral economic cooperation by enhancing pilgrimage tourism and trade between the two countries.

“Both the countries share common interest in regional bodies, such as, BIMSTEC and Asia Cooperation Dialogue (ACD),” he said.
