Nepal on Thursday condemned and denounced Wednesday’s terrorist attack in London in which an assailant killed three people before being shot dead. About 40 people were injured in the incident.

In his message to British Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs Boris Johnson on Thursday, Foreign Minister Prakash Sharan Mahat said, “It is with deep shock and sadness that we received the news of the loss of lives of security and other innocent people in the terrorist attack outside the British Parliament.” 

“On behalf of the people and the government of Nepal as well as on my own, I would like to convey deepest condolences and sympathies to you, and through you, to the bereaved family members,” said Mahat in the statement while wishing speedy recovery of those injured.
