KATHMANDU, Aug 26: Inspector Ujjwal Bahadur Singh of Nepal Police has been selected for a one-year training program at France’s National Police College (École Nationale Supérieure de la Police or ENSP) in Saint-Cyr-au-Mont-d’Or.
This marks the second time that an inspector from Nepal Police will attend this institution, highlighting the strength and continuity of ongoing cooperation between Nepal and France in the field of security and law enforcement, according to the Embassy of France in Kathmandu.

Inspector Singh’s nomination was confirmed by a French multi-institutional commission. As part of the scholarship, his training (from September 2024 until June 2025) and travel expenses will be covered by the French government; additionally, Mr. Singh will receive a monthly stipend to help cover his expenses throughout the duration of the training.
The training program at ENSP offers a unique opportunity for officers to gain advanced knowledge and international exposure, developing skills that are crucial for leadership roles in law enforcement, such as public order, judicial procedure, intelligence, public service, and communication. For example, ENSP is organizing a new course designed to provide keys to institutional communications that can be adapted to different environments. It gives foreign police officers an opportunity to engage in media training with an international journalist, using exercises tailored to their roles and countries.
"The training at ENSP is designed to foster international collaboration and professional excellence. We are confident that Inspector Singh’s participation will further strengthen the collaborative ties between the two nations and bring back valuable insights to Nepal," a statement issued by the French Embassy in Kathmandu quoted Fabrice Cotelle, French Police Attaché for Nepal, as saying.
This training initiative represents an important component of the enduring collaboration between Nepali and French law enforcement agencies, aimed at equipping officers with the skills and perspectives necessary for leadership in their respective organizations. It follows an international seminar on Fighting Poaching and Wildlife Trafficking, which was organized in Kathmandu in May 2024.
