US embassy cable - 05KATHMANDU2150

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

2. (SBU) Dr. Bishnu Prasad Pandit, the senior point of 
contact on Avian Influenza for His Majesty's Government of 
Nepal (ref A), informed Emboff on September 30 that Nepal 
agreed to be listed as a partner on the International 
Partnership on Avian and Pandemic Influenza Statement of Core 
Principles (ref B).  Because funding participants from Nepal 
to attend the October 6-7 Senior Officials' meeting "could 
not be managed," Pandit stated that the Ministry of Health 
and Population had asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to 
instruct the Royal Nepalese Embassy in Washington, DC to send 
a representative to the meeting. 
 
3. (SBU) Embassy requests that organizers of the Senior 
Officials' meeting in Washington contact the Royal Nepalese 
Embassy on October 3 or 4 to encourage Nepali 
Washington-based participation.
