About

I am Mahesh Raj Dahal, and my professional journey is a testament to a deep-seated commitment to public service and the strengthening of global partnerships. My career, spanning over two decades, has been dedicated to cultivating sustainable economic development and fostering robust financial and diplomatic ecosystems, particularly within Nepal's evolving landscape.

My professional journey has encompassed significant roles in government, regulatory bodies, and public enterprises. I have consistently focused on policy formulation, strategic planning, and the implementation of initiatives that drive both economic growth and social welfare. My academic foundation in economics, public administration, and law has equipped me with a multifaceted perspective, allowing me to approach complex challenges with comprehensive, innovative solutions.

A distinct highlight of my career was serving as the Ambassador of Nepal to Australia from November 2019 to May 2021. This was a period dedicated to reinforcing the strong bilateral ties between our nations, promoting cultural exchange, and advocating for the welfare of the Nepalese diaspora. I actively engaged with Australian government officials and diverse community organizations, fostering understanding and collaboration. Prior to this diplomatic engagement, I also had the honor of serving as the Chairman of the University Service Commission at Purbanchal University, where I contributed to shaping academic excellence and institutional development.

Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of contributing to pivotal projects that have shaped Nepal's financial and educational architecture. I believe in fostering transparency, accountability, and good governance, principles I have upheld in every position I've held. My experience includes leading crucial reforms and spearheading initiatives that have streamlined processes and enhanced public service delivery.
