In the meeting, Deuba and Nuland dwelled on ways to further strengthen mutual interests, bilateral ties and good government between Nepal and the United States.
“Had a wonderful meeting with US under Secretary @ UnderSecStateP. We discussed ways to further strengthen our bilateral relationship and cooperation in democracy, development and good governance. I thanked her for the continued support of the US to Nepal, which is highly valued,” Deuba tweeted after the meeting.
