Responding to the queries raised by lawmakers in the parliamentary hearing committee on Wednesday, he said he left an opportunity to further strengthen Nepal-Japan relations. <\/p>\n ‘I will now serve Nepal, the country is also changing. I have left everything behind thinking that people like us can connect Nepal and Japan if they get a chance,” he said, “I do not want to hide that if I come to become an ambassador, then if there is a test to become an ambassador, then I have come to say that I will give the test.” During the hearing, the lawmakers raised questions about Thapa’s Japanese PR and family situation.

Stating that the house is owned by his wife, he said, “I have a house in Japan. A house in a place where there is not even four annas.
