Vietnamese embassy verifies reports of two nationals in Nepal flood-hit area
The Embassy of Vietnam in India, concurrently accredited to Nepal and Bhutan, said on August 31 that it was checking reports that two Vietnamese nationals were in Langtang, Rasuwa district in north central Nepal before a flash flood struck the area.
The Vietnamese Embassy in India, accredited to Nepal and Bhutan, has confirmed recent reports of two Vietnamese nationals residing in the Langtang region of Rasuwa district in north-central Nepal, before a devastating flash flood hit the area. According to a list published by the Trekking Agencies' Association of Nepal, these individuals registered at a park checkpoint on August 24, two days prior to the disaster.
However, the information remains partial and uncertain, as the names listed may not correspond to their full names on passports, and the embassy does not possess sufficient details to confirm their identities, passport numbers, travel plans, or current whereabouts. The list does not represent an official record of missing persons, but rather a log of trekkers who checked in before venturing to the Gosaikunda and Langtang/Kyanjin Valley areas.
The Nepal Tourism Board had previously released a list of foreigners reported missing after the flood, which included one Vietnamese citizen. The Vietnamese Embassy is currently working diligently with the Vietnamese community in Nepal and Vietnam's Honorary Consul there to collect additional information and verify this case.
