Minister for Labour and Transport, Raghuji Panta, who is visiting South Korea, expressed hope that the embassy would help in promoting bilateral relations between the two countries.
A formal announcement to this effect is yet to be made.
Addressing a function organised in his honour by 'Dakshin Korea Prabasi Nepali Samparka Samiti', in Seoul, Minister Panta said initiative had also been taken to start direct flights between the capitals of Nepal and South Korea.
According to Monday's Nepal Samacharpatra daily, Minister Panta said the government had enforced the `lottery system' to select the trainee employees to South Korea to `avoid irregularities.'
The Nepali delegation is expected to request the South Korean government to declare Nepal as a source country for labour import and increase the quota provided to Nepal to send 'trainee employees' there, reports said.
Nepal and South Korea had embarked towards planned economic development almost simultaneously in the sixties. While South Korea has transformed itself into an industrialized country, Nepal is now known as a country exporting 'unskilled laborers.' nepalnews.com by Oct. 18 04
