Chen Song, China’s Amb designate in Nepal to arrive soon

Chen Song, China’s Ambassador designate in Nepal will be arriving here within the next couple of weeks, according to information available here.

Song, currently Deputy Director General in the Asian Affairs Department of the Foreign Ministry, replaces Ambassador Hou Yanqi who left Nepal completing her four years tenure last month.

As per the unofficial information Song will be arriving here on December 27.

Absence of the ambassador from the northern neighbour also marks its activities visible in Nepal when its rivals and competitors–U S and Indian–are hopping to power centres and meeting  key political personalities in Kathmandu as the government formation process is about to begin.
