Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal on Tuesday expressed his commitment to make high-level diplomatic efforts aimed at repatriating Nepalis serving in the Russian Army.

Prime Minister Dahal made these remarks during a meeting with members of a campaign aimed at saving the lives of Nepalis in the Russian forces.

“The Office of the Prime Minister is committed to addressing your demands,” he assured. “The government has been continuously making efforts.”

Saying the government is making efforts to safeguard the lives of Nepali citizens, the prime minister stressed his unwavering commitment to addressing their demands.

The families of Nepalis serving in the Russian Army had staged a sit-in in Kathmandu, demanding the repatriation of Nepali recruits from the Russian Army. The sit-in was postponed following Prime Minister Dahal’s commitment to address their demands, according to Buddhi GC, the public relations expert to the prime minister.
