US embassy cable - 05KATHMANDU2740

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.

Classified By: CDA Elisabeth I. Millard, reasons 1.4 (b/d) 
 
1. (C) Due to the re-shuffling of His Majesty's Government of 
Nepal the evening of December 7, the Acting Foreign Secretary 
was unavailable this morning.  Emboff therefore demarched 
Kali Prasad Pokharel, Undersecretary, UN Division, Ministry 
of Foreign Affairs, encouraging Nepal to vote in favor of 
adoption of the Third Additional Protocol.  Pokharel stated 
that while he would bring the issue to the attention of 
Nepal's delegation in Geneva, he stressed that the more 
prudent course of action would be for members of the U.S. 
delegation in Geneva to contact the Nepali Ambassador to the 
UN in Geneva directly.
