On behalf of the Ambassadors Club, Pushkar Sapkota, Law and Human Rights Secretary at the Office of the Prime Minister and Council of Ministers, presented the Recognition Award 2025 to Hanaa.

This is amazing—what you’ve done, always so graceful and always so appreciative,” Hanaa said. Hanaa further added, “Nepal for me is my Maitighar (mother’s home). I have been coming to Nepal since 1997. I have visited Nepal around seven or eight times, and I have lived and worked in Nepal for around six years. I have travelled to over 54 districts, and I have been overwhelmed by emotions.” She said that she always comes back to Nepal because there is some magic in Nepal that can only be found here, and part of that magic is the people.
During the award ceremony, ambassadors, diplomats, Government of Nepal officials, officials from other diplomatic missions, and leaders of private sector were also present.
