On behalf of the Government of Japan, the Embassy of Japan in Kathmandu wishes to extend its heartfelt congratulations to the Government and people of Nepal on the auspicious occasion of Republic Day. Three years ago today, the first meeting of the Constituent Assembly was held and newly elected members of the Assembly adopted the resolution, proudly declaring Nepal a Federal Democratic Republic.

While the recent political consensus that realized a three-month extension of the mandate of the Constituent Assembly is encouraging, greater challenges still remain to be overcome. It is Japan's sincere wish that all the concerned political parties redouble their efforts to complete the peace process and drafting of the new constitution within the revised time-frame, through constructive dialogue and mutual understanding, and thus, achieve the people's aspiration entrusted to the Constituent Assembly three years ago. Japan is firmly committed to support Nepal in this endeavor.
