Rules that effectively banned all sexually active gay and bisexual men from donating blood and plasma are being lifted in Australia, BBC reported.

The rules, originally introduced to decrease the risk of blood donations from groups with a higher chance of HIV exposure, will begin being revoked from next month, following similar moves in the UK and US.

However, under the changes, Australia will become the first country in the world to remove all sexual activity-based restrictions on plasma donation, the national blood donation service Lifeblood says.

The new rules have been approved by the country's health products regulator, and are estimated to expand the donation pool by 625,000 people, according to BBC.

The Embassy of the Republic of Korea in Kathmandu organized a program to launch a book on Tuesday.

Shiva Prasad Pokharel’s book ‘You can be the Boss’ (Tapai Pani Malik Banna Saknuhuncha) was launched amidst a program this afternoon.  

The book highlighted the success stories after the Employment Permit System (EPS).

The book features stories of Nepali returnees from South Korea, focusing on various sectors like manufacturing, agricultures, service, education and business sector, according to a statement issued by the Korean Embassy.

Deputy Prime Minister and Finance minister Bishnu Prasad Poudel, Korean Ambassador to Nepal Park Tae-Young, other officials from both countries and media persons were present on the occasion.

The book aims to inspire and encourage more Nepali youth is multifaceted, encompassing both economic opportunities and cultural impact.

On the occasion, the Korean ambassador said that this book is not merely a compilation of individual experience; it is a living record of the transformative power of bilateral employment cooperation between Korea and Nepal under the Employment Permit System (EPS).

Each individual featured in this book began their journey with courage—leaving home to work in Korea, where they gained not only income but skills, discipline, and a vision for their future, he said.

Upon returning to Nepal, they invested what they had earned—both financially and experientially—into creating businesses, generating local jobs, and contributing to their communities. They are now part of a virtuous cycle of migration, reintegration, and national development, he added.

Fifty Nepali entrepreneurs who came to Nepal from South Korea with skills exemplify what is possible when opportunity is met with ambition. They are more than success stories—they are role models, and their journeys are proof that temporary labor migration, when well-managed and mutually respectful, can bring sustainable benefits to both countries, the ambassador said.
