March 19th, 2009 - 3:40 pm ICT by ANI Kathmandu, March 19 (ANI): Nepal cabinet has named Dr Chandra Kanta Poudel and Maoist central leader Ram Karki as the ambassadors to India and France respectively.
The ambassador-nominees are required to undergo parliamentary hearing before being appointed to their posts.
Paudel, 54, holds a doctorate in economics from Tribhuvan University. He served as headmaster at Birendra Secondary School in Nuwakot before moving to Kathmandu where he has since been working as principal of Gyankunja College at Rabibhavan.
Paudel will replace Durgeshman Singh, a Nepali Congress appointee.
