On August 7, 2026, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that it plans to close Nepali embassies in Brazil, Denmark, and South Africa, along with consulates general in San Francisco, USA, and Chengdu, China.
The Ministry clarified that these closures are contingent upon the establishment of reliable alternative arrangements to ensure uninterrupted services for Nepali citizens and international clients. This decision is attributed to economic constraints and a re-evaluation of current workloads.
