Commissioners of Police in France are entrusted with the highest management and executive responsibilities within the French National Police. As part of the scholarship, Gurung’s training and travel cost will be covered by the French Government and Gurung will also receive a monthly stipend to help cover his expenses throughout the duration of the training.
Gurung was felicitated by the Chargé d’Affaire a.i. Leela Devaradjalou before his departure to France.
According to the Embassy of France in Nepal, this program is dedicated to enable foreign police officers already trained in their home country to further gain knowledge and develop their international profile, strengthening and perpetuating exchanges between the two countries, and, for some of them, leading them to positions of greater responsibility with an international focus. The training course is part of a continuous cooperation between Nepali and French law enforcement authorities.
