Our mission

A peaceful, democratic and inclusive Nepal, with dynamic growth, respect for human rights and continued strong partnership with the UK.

• Continued recruitment of Gurkhas and partnership between the Nepalese and British armed forces
• Use the 200th anniversary in 2015/16 to strengthen bilateral cooperation further, especially on the “green” agenda
• To provide a high quality and fair service to visa applicants whilst controlling migration to the UK effectively

We support development in Nepal through:

• DFID’s work on wealth creation, service delivery, governance, disaster response, climate change, health.
• British Council’s work to support cultural relations, and ELT standards and exam reform in education
• British Embassy’s small projects funds

For further information on development see DFID Nepal.
