A Cabinet meeting held on Thursday recommended Khagnath  Adhikari for the post of Nepali ambassador to Thailand, Deepak Dhital for Switzerland, Yagya Bahadur Hamal for Kuwait, Amrit Rai for South Africa, Kali Prasad Pokharel for Canada and Ambika Luitel for France.

All the recommended nominees are joint secretaries at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Though the ambassadorial posts in more than 18 countries have been lying vacant for a long period, the government made recommendations for only six countries.

The government has not recommended ambassador for the Nepali Embassy in New Delhi, one of the most crucial appointments.

Likewise, the Cabinet meet has appointed Ashwini Kumar Thakur as the administrator of Rastriya Beema Sansthan and Rewati Bahadur Karki as the Chairman of Rastriya Banijya Bank.

The government has also appointed Kishor Thapa as Chairman of High Powered Committee for Integrated Development of the Bagmati Civilization and Buddhi Prasad Acharya to the post of Managing Director of Nepal Telecom.
