The government is conducting discussions with the Nepali government to deploy an emergency relief team to the site affected by the recent floods in Nepal. However, it is understood that the Nepali side has not yet accepted the support of overseas rescue personnel. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated on the afternoon of the 29th, "The government is actively conveying our intention to provide emergency relief teams to the Nepali government and is proceeding with discussions," and added, "We are fully prepared to deploy at any time if the Nepali side accepts." Currently, the Nepali side is conducting rescue operations mainly with the support of the military, taking into account various factors such as the special conditions of the area, weather-related restrictions, and the efficiency of command and control of rescue personnel, as proposed by the military. The Nepali side has expressed its intention to make a separate request if other support requests are confirmed. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs explained that it has "no new information regarding the acceptance of overseas relief teams" in response to some reports that the Nepali side has accepted overseas rescue support. The government plans to take measures to immediately deploy our emergency relief team once the Nepali side confirms its consent. At one point, the area was isolated.
