Kathmandu, April 26: Foreign Minister Shishir Khanal says the government is trying to put some discipline into how diplomacy is handled.
Speaking at a program organized by the Rastriya Swatantra Party in Tarkeshwor Municipality-10, Manmaiju, he stressed the need to follow diplomatic codes of conduct and said the current government is actively working to streamline both foreign relations and diplomatic behavior.

Khanal made it clear the rules won’t just sit in a dusty file. He said the diplomatic code will apply equally to everyone, from the prime minister and ministers to all public office holders. To make that happen, the government has even arranged training programs, presumably because common sense needs a refresher course.
“ We have arranged training to ensure that the diplomatic code is applied equally to the prime minister, ministers, and others,” he said.
He emphasized that everyone must follow diplomatic norms, not just when it is convenient or politically useful.
On a different note, Khanal said the government is working toward good governance and economic prosperity, in line with the Rastriya Swatantra Party’s commitments. He added that the government is moving forward with a zero-tolerance policy against corruption, which, if actually enforced, might finally make headlines for the right reasons.
