ACN honours UN Resident Coordinator

Kathmandu, Jan. 20

The Ambassadors Club Nepal (ACN) has honoured United Nations Resident Coordinator–Nepal, Hanaa Singer-Hamdy, with the ‘Recognition Award 2025’.

President of the Ambassadors Club Nepal, Dr. Sarmila Parajuli Dhakal, announced the recognition award to UNRC-Nepal Chief Hanaa  in a special ceremony held on Monday in Kathmandu.

According to the CAN, she is honoured for her distinguished leadership, dedicated service, and lasting contribution to Nepal’s development journey.

Pushkar Sapkota, Law and Human Rights Secretary at the Prime Minister’s Office, presented the Recognition Award 2025 to Hanaa. This is the first award given by the ACN, which will award ambassadors, diplomats, heads and officials of international organisations every year.

“Nepal for me is my Maitighar (mother’s home). I have been coming to Nepal since 1997. I have visited Nepal around seven or eight times, and I have lived and worked in Nepal for around six years. I have travelled to over 54 districts, and I have been overwhelmed by emotions,” said Hanaa after receiving the award.
