Bulgarian woman previously reported missing in Nepal has been found

There are no Bulgarian citizens currently unaccounted for in Nepal following the devastating floods there. Nepalese authorities had earlier included a Bulgarian citizen on their list of missing people, but it has since emerged that the person is a Bulgarian woman who had lost her personal documents. This was confirmed to Bulgarian National Radio (BNR) by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The Bulgarian woman in Nepal contacted Bulgaria’s diplomatic mission in Delhi. She is safe but has lost her personal documents. The embassy in Delhi provided remote assistance to help her obtain a temporary passport from the mission of an EU member state in Nepal.

Earlier, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it had been officially notified by Chinese authorities about a Bulgarian citizen reported missing as a result of the floods in Tibet and Nepal.

Bulgaria’s embassies in China and India remain in constant contact with authorities in the affected region and are monitoring the situation.

The Bulgarian Embassy in Beijing also assisted a Bulgarian citizen in contacting his wife, who was traveling on an organized tour in the affected region. She is safe and is currently in Tibet, the Foreign Ministry added.
