The Non-Resident Nepali Association (NRNA) in South Korea has officially achieved unity between its two National Coordination Councils (NCCs). The unification was made possible through the initiative of NRNA International Coordination Council (ICC) President Mahesh Kumar Shrestha and ICC Vice President Junu Gurung, bringing an end to long-standing internal division.
Following the agreement, it has been decided to form a Steering Committee, draft a new operational guideline, and subsequently resume NRNA activities in South Korea in an organized and unified manner.
As part of this process, NRNA ICC President Mahesh Kumar Shrestha, Vice President Junu Gurung, along with other ICC team members, paid a courtesy visit to the Embassy of Nepal in South Korea yesterday, where they met with the Nepali Ambassador to South Korea. During the meeting, in-depth discussions were held on the current situation of NRNA South Korea, the unity process, and future organizational direction.
Earlier, on the 18th, during ICC President Mahesh Kumar Shrestha’s visit to South Korea, an Interaction Program was organized by the NRNA ICC, with special coordination and initiative from Vice President Junu Gurung. The program saw participation from NRNA activists, community leaders, and stakeholders based in South Korea.
Speakers at the interaction program emphasized the need for a unified, transparent, and result-oriented NRNA, expressing optimism that the unity will strengthen the organization and better serve the interests of the Nepali diaspora in South Korea.
The unity achieved in South Korea is being viewed as a positive and encouraging step within the global NRNA community, expected to contribute significantly to institutional stability and the welfare of non-resident Nepalis.
