Aagreement of MRP with French fund

Without any wavering, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) on Tuesday decided to award the multi-million dollar contract to print and supply Machine Readable Passport (MRP) copies to France-based Oberthur Technologies.

With the announcement of the deal, the MRP controversy is over and MoFA will have a tough time introducing MRP within its renewed deadline — Jan. 1, 2011, which it has set for the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO).

In a very “calculated” move, MoFA cleared the MPR air even though the incumbent government is in an ad-hoc state with no sign of the formation of a new government. This was for warding off unnecessary political pressure and  maneuvering, according to MoFA officials.

The French company has been given a week to seal the deal with MoFA in this regard, following the announcement made by Chief of Protocol (COP), Mukti Nath Bhatta. A letter has been dispatched to Oberthur’s headquarter through Nepal’s mission in France.
