Nepali nationals living in Kyrgyzstan have been urged to exercise caution and remain indoors due to mob violence targeting foreign students in Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan.
The Embassy of Nepal in Islamabad, Pakistan has confirmed that approximately 280 Nepalis residing in and around Bishkek are safe.
The embassy is closely monitoring the situation and maintaining communication with local authorities.
The Kyrgyz foreign ministry has assured that the situation is under control. Law enforcement agencies promptly detained those involved in the incident, including both foreign citizens and Kyrgyz Republic citizens.
Pakistan has also advised its nationals in Kyrgyzstan to stay indoors following attacks on foreigners in Bishkek.
They have repatriated 140 Pakistani students from Bishkek and plan to conduct more flights for those who wish to leave.
The violence reportedly began last week due to a clash between Kyrgyz people and foreigners. Nepali nationals are reminded to stay in contact with the embassy for assistance and to avoid leaving their homes until further notice.
For updates and support, Nepalis in Kyrgyzstan should follow the embassy’s communications.
The embassy remains committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of all Nepali citizens in the region.
