As the large-scale resettlement programme for Bhutanese refugees draws to a close, the Australian Ambassador to Nepal, H.E. Glenn White, visited Beldangi refugee camp in Jhapa District on Thursday. During the trip, Mr White met with Bhutanese refugees and observed programmes designed to increase their self-reliance.
Australia has been an important partner of the Government of Nepal and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), resettling over 6,000 Bhutanese refugees to Australia. UNHCR projects that, by the conclusion of the resettlement programme, approximately 115,000 Bhutanese refugees will have been resettled from Eastern Nepal, with an estimated 10,000 refugees remaining in the camps in 2017.
