Kathmandu, July 4
Donald Lu, the United States assistant secretary of state for South and Central Asian affairs, is coming to Nepal on in July.
Dates for his visit have not been finalised yet, said sources at the US Embassy.
This will be his third visit to Nepal. He first came to Nepal in 2021 when the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC), was in the process of being ratified by the House of Representatives.
His second visit came in 2022 at a time when the US was pushing Nepal to take part in the State Partnership Program. The government had decided to withdraw from the project after a draft of the agreement leaked by the media exposed the possibility of the US troops staying in Nepal for an indefinite period, inviting criticism from stakeholders.
