Botswana is bordered by South Africa to the south and east, by Namibia to the west, and by Zimbabwe to the east.

An upper-middle-income country Botswana transformed from one of the world’s poorest nations at its independence in 1966 into one of Africa’s most stable and successful economies.

Botswana and Nepal established diplomatic relations on January 8, 2009. The Nepal Embassy in Pretoria, South Africa looks after Botswana affairs.

Congratulations to the people of Botswana on the auspicious day of the 60th years of independence.
