Kathmandu, Aug. 2
The Consulate General of the Kingdom of Morocco in Nepal on Sunday organised a ceremony and a series of events in Kathmandu to mark the 25th anniversary of King Mohammed VI's accession to the throne.
The programme began with a flag-hoisting
ceremony at the Consulate General's office in Thapathali. Morocco's ambassador
to Nepal, Mohammed Maliki, and Honorary Consul General Megha Chaudhary jointly
hoisted the national flag. Morocco observes 30 July each year as Throne Day to
commemorate the accession of King Mohammed VI.
Speaking at the ceremony, said she hoped
Nepal and Morocco would further expand cooperation in trade, tourism,
investment and cultural exchange.
The Consulate General also organised a
cultural exhibition in Lalitpur on Sunday which featured Moroccan cuisine,
pottery, traditional décor, tourism information and a travel desk.
"The exhibition was intended to
introduce Moroccan culture, art and tourism to the Nepali public while
promoting cultural exchanges between the two countries. It was expected to
support bilateral cooperation, trade and tourism," said Chaudhary.
A separate evening programme focusing on
tourism and cultural cooperation between Nepal and Morocco, including the
screening of a documentary on Moroccan art and culture was also organised the
same day.
Chaudhary was appointed Honorary Consul
General of the Kingdom of Morocco in Nepal in February. Following her
appointment, the Consulate General introduced a revised visa application
process for Nepali citizens.
Under the new arrangement, Nepali
applicants can obtain a recommendation letter from the Consulate General in
Kathmandu and submit their visa applications through VFS Global, removing the
need to travel to India to complete the process.
