Finland established its permanent Embassy in Kathmandu in 1992 to enhance development cooperation and bilateral relations. Over the years, the Embassy’s role has expanded, managing numerous projects with increasing volume in consular services. The appointment of the first Resident Ambassador in 2011 marked a significant step in deepening the partnership and underscored its importance. Decades of collaboration have yielded remarkable achievements, laying a strong foundation for further expansion and diversification of relations in the years to come.
