KATHMANDU, Sept 10: Experts have said that promoting culture should be the main basis in establishing and expanding relations with other countries and international missions.

Speaking at a programme organized by the Cultural Study and Research Council Nepal on Saturday to congratulate the newly-appointed ambassador and permanent representative of Nepal to the United Nations, they stressed the need for establishing diplomacy along with cultural promotion.

On the occasion, senior culture expert and poet Tulasi Dibas viewed that ambassadors representing Nepal should increase informal relations instead of just formal relations. Ambassadors' role is important in creating awareness and promoting culture, he said.

He underscored the need for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to provide orientation to ambassadors to make Nepali language, culture, lifestyle and dress known to the world.

Similarly, Dr Khagendra Luitel of the Central Department of Nepali at the Tribhuvan University, shared that ambassadors have an important role in promoting Nepali language and culture in foreign countries. He further said that culture could be an important instrument for the identity of Nepal.

Newly appointed ambassador of Nepal to Thailand Dhan Bahadur Oli said time has come to think over ways to publicize Nepal's good practices to the world. Nepali language and culture could connect Nepal with the world community, he added.

Asserting that Nepali language, culture, lifestyle and costumes are the identity of Nepal, Ambassador of Nepal to the United Arab Emirates Tej Bahadur Chhetri stressed the need for its handover to the new generation. Nepal's Ambassador to Kuwait Ghana Shyam Lamsal pointed out the need for Nepali families to compulsorily teach Nepali language to their children.

Likewise, Nepal's Representative to the Permanent Mission to the United Nations, Geneva, Ram Prasad Subedi, who is also Nepal's ambassador to Switzerland, stressed the need for promoting Nepali culture to increase tourism activities in Nepal.
