Singer-Hamdy honored with ‘Recognition Award’

KATHMANDU: The Ambassadors Club Nepal has honored the United Nations Resident Coordinator to Nepal, Hanaa Singer-Hamdy, with the ‘Recognition Award 2025’ at a ceremony at its office in Bishalnagar on Tuesday.

Announcing the award, Ambassadors Club Nepal President Dr Sarmila Parajuli Dhakal said the recognition was presented in honour of Singer-Hamdy’s distinguished leadership, dedicated service, and lasting contribution to Nepal’s development journey.

Dr Parajuli, a former Nepali ambassador to Spain and Oman, described the award as a tribute to Singer-Hamdy’s role in strengthening development cooperation in Nepal.

Pushkar Sapkota, Law and Human Rights Secretary at the Office of the Prime Minister and Council of Ministers, presented the award to Singer-Hamdy.

Receiving the award, Singer-Hamdy thanked the Ambassadors Club Nepal and its president for the honour. ”
Nepal, for me, is my Maitighar (mother’s home). I have been coming to Nepal since 1997. I have visited Nepal around seven or eight times, and I have lived and worked in Nepal for around six years. I have travelled to over 54 districts, and I have been overwhelmed by emotions,” Singer-Hamdy said.

The ceremony was attended by ambassadors, diplomats, government officials, representatives of diplomatic missions, and private sector leaders.
