Nepal lacks diplomatic Professionalism!

 

 

Nepal is one of the very few nations that seriously lack diplomatic professionalism. The Nepalese diplomats posted in Nepal’s interest abroad have a least knowledge of its host country’s history, culture, language or even political knowledge. Why does a State post people as their representative of their nation when he/she have a least knowledge or qualification to do the job? The political insufficiency and Nepal’s missions abroad are known to be less interactive in diplomatic sense and also a failure to do its job in a political correct manner.

 

I still remember the incident in early 1980’s when Nepal’s ambassador to United State was caught red handed shoplifting in a book store. When a store clerk called the security he offensively stated his ambassadorial position. It was then huge news in diplomatic circles and also around the world. It was a black incident for Nepal’s status due its political appointee who was appointed to bring Nepal in the world’s stage rather he hammered Nepal from the world’s state. King Birendra at the time had to recall the ambassador for his actions and was a huge embarrassment for the nation and its King.

 

Secondly, I recall the State Visit of Prime Minister Koilara in mid 1990’s in New Delhi. His team of expertise was nothing more than a useless bunch of people unaware of any diplomatic protocols or norms. In a state banquet hosted by the President of India, one of Prime Minister’s Koilara’s entourage ministers asked his Indian counterpart, what is his name? and how many children does he have? It was rather a foolish comment and an embarrassing position at the state banquet ever asked by any foreign dignitary.

 

There are countless many such diplomatic embarrassment by Nepalese diplomatic appointees. Nepal seriously lacks diplomatic professionalism. The nation needs not only change of political structure but also its very mind set. Many foreign nations have complications dealing with Nepal and its diplomatic circles. Firstly, the diplomats appointed are considered useless and secondly the diplomats have least knowledge and skills what is required of the position.

 

Nepal’s stand on the world arena is incomplete without a proper formulation of its leaders and its very organizational structure. It needs to re-frame the nation and need to approach its stances in a realistic and implementable manner. The present SPA and their allies are nothing more than a hurdle for its development. Nepal to stand true and wise, needs to address its diplomatic professionalism. 

 

 

I don't see anything critical we should worry about. Nepal was a close country until 90s. With the fall of autocratic Panchayat system and onset of open and democratic society, we have been able to see the outside world and gradually improving in each front- may it be internal development or international relations. I don't think anything can ever be done overnight.

I don't know anything about the intention of the originator of the thread, but the article appears to be a humiliation to the self-esteem and dignity of Nepalese people. 

This Mehta guy  is pissing me off as well. I have no illusions about the professionalsim of our diplomats and leaders. but thats not really surpising since we as a nation have been exposed to the outside world post 1990, just like copicat poitned out.

I just wanted to remind this Dic*head Mehta to look back back at his own country's history. He talks as if his country is the benchmark of diplomatic etiquette..... This jerk doesnt seem to rememmber his country's political, social and economic problems up until the 90s. And even today his county has the poorest, the most lawless, and most corrupt regions in the world.

So stop smirking and taking pride by bullying a small nation which is struggling on its way toward democracy, freedom and prosperity. And if you still feel the need to re-enofrce that sense of achievement and upliftment by humiliating a small nation like ours, there aint a soul more pathetic than yours on this planet.

guys,jay mahta is a freaking indian man who is talking shit of nepal.please everybody disregard him,that will be allright.

सत्य तितो हुन्छ।Just check this news http://www.nepalnews.com/archive/2007/dec/dec30/news01.php. कहिले सम्म यो नाटक ?

Just expressing my opinion here......
I have no idea who Jay Mehta is...or what his agenda is........however, I agree with him in this matter. Nepal lacks professionalism in diplomacy.........how do you think the interests of Nepal got undermined in every treaty (or agreement) made with other countries?
The guys who are criticizing the originator of this thread should be thankful to him.....who is pointing our weaknesses to us.......I think we all should grow up and learn how to handle some criticism.


Peace

I believe, everybody can honestly post his comment here. What Mehta said sounds absurd but its true. However, things like this happen. We cannot ignore it. However, that was a thing of past. Nepal is in transition phase. India and many other countries has gone through such situations. India, Srilanka, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Myanmaar..there are countless countries which has major problems in compared to Nepal even today. If people staying in Delhi thinks India is in peace and political situation is correct then that what about Narendra Modi appointment as Gujrat CM who is responsible for deaths of thousands of people, What abt situation in Kashmir, Meghalya and Assam. These all are truths. Our ploitical leader only asked about the family affair( that's honest and simple question--comment on delhi meetin) but we have seen many (not all) Indian leaders killing people for their own political benifits. India has more such news then Nepal. Check the 24hrs news channel.

Bringing peace and security in Nepal is a challenging task. Nepal was earlier in peace under these leaders only. I am not supporting any particular leader. But, things are different then jst commenting when you are in the leader shoes. It cannot change like in 3 hrs of movie. Lets hope for the peace and security in Nepal. Development will automatically be there.
