UK Affirms Support for Nepal Amid Transition, Welcomes Interim PM Karki

Kathmandu: The British Embassy in Kathmandu has welcomed the appointment of Sushila Karki, former Chief Justice, as Nepal’s interim Prime Minister, calling it an important step following last week’s tragic events.

The embassy noted that the country is still reeling from the heartbreaking loss of life, injuries, and damage to property. In this context, the appointment of Karki is seen as a crucial move toward stability and transition.

“As Nepal’s oldest friend, we recognise the challenges ahead and affirm our commitment to supporting Nepali aspirations for accountability and inclusive governance,” the embassy said in a statement.

Karki’s leadership comes at a critical juncture as Nepal navigates political uncertainty and public demands for change, while maintaining strong ties with its international partners.
