Amid criticism for its failure to monitor the frequent meetings between the political leadership and foreign diplomats, Nepal's  Ministry of Foreign Affairs is once again working to revise and reactivate its diplomatic code of conduct.

The need for such code comes amidst the increasing meetings of foreign envoys with the leadership of various political parties, and even the President, to which the Foreign Ministry is by and large oblivious.

“We are working to update and reissue the diplomatic code of conduct by bringing political party leaders under its purview so that there is accountability,” Foreign Minister Pradeep Gyawali told the Post.

A latest version of such a code was prepared in 2015 but it has been gathering dust at the Prime Minister’s Office and the Foreign Ministry.
