Japanese ambassador to Nepal Tatsuo Mizuno, and Finance Ministry secretary Rameshwor Khanal signed the agreement and exchanged the notes on behalf of their respective governments at the ministry on Tuesday.

The assistance is provided with the objective of enabling the Government of Nepal to procure rice and supply it to the food deficit districts, a press statement issued by the Japanese embassy said. The Nepal Food Corporation (NFC) is to distribute it through its national distribution network.

Speaking during the signing ceremony, ambassador Mizuno expressed his belief that the extended food assistance will help the Government of Nepal in addressing the urgent need in food deficit districts and in easing the difficulties felt by local people in their daily life. "It will, thus, further contribute to the moving ahead of the peace process in Nepal," he said. nepalnews.com
