KATHMANDU: The US has offered condolences for the lives lost in Nepal’s recent protests and reaffirmed support for Nepal’s peaceful, democratic path forward.
US Ambassador to Nepal Dean Thompson paid a courtesy call on interim Prime Minister Sushila Karki at the latter’s office in Singha Durbar on Thursday.
“Recognizing over 78 years of US–Nepal partnership, they discussed priorities for furthering trade, economic growth, disaster preparedness, and the MCC Compact’s commitment to Nepal’s most transformative infrastructure partnership – leading to a safer, stronger, more prosperous United States and Nepal,” the US Embassy in Kathmandu said in a statement on Thursday.
In response, Prime Minister Karki thanked the US government for its support to Nepal and expressed hope that it would be continued in the coming days as well.
