Banking News – The Government of Nepal has expressed its gratitude and appreciation to the Government of the United Arab Emirates for granting a royal pardon to 111 Nepali prisoners on the occasion of Eid al-Adha 2026.

In a statement issued on Tuesday, Nepal’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs described the humanitarian gesture as a reflection of the deep friendship and cordial bilateral relations between Nepal and the UAE.
