  "summary": "Nepal’s Parliamentary Hearing Committee has approved the names of proposed ambassadors to 10 countries, including India, according to an official. The Committee endorsed Nischal Nath Pandey as the proposed ambassador to India, Kalyan Raj Sharma to China, and Chiranjung Thapa to the US. Additionally, the Committee approved nominees for the United Kingdom, Germany, Israel, Oman, South Korea, Spain, and Sri Lanka. The development follows the Cabinet’s recommendation of 13 names for ambassadors to various countries on September 18, although three nominees are still awaiting a decision from the Committee. The Committee has put on hold a decision on proposed candidate Jigyan Kumar Thapa for Japan due to his residential status and rejected the nomination of Giri Bahadur Sumargi for Saudi Arabia and Chuda Mani Kharel for Malaysia. Once the parliamentary endorsement is completed, the names will be sent to the respective countries for their agreement before the nominees are officially appointed as Nepal’s ambassadors.",
