Newly-appointed US Ambassador Dean R. Thompson called on Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba on Friday.
During the meeting, the two sides discussed ways to further deepen bilateral ties between the two countries.
"It was a pleasure to meet with Rt. Hon. Prime Minister Deuba today to discuss how we can build on the strong foundation of 75 years of U.S. – Nepal partnership," Ambassador Thompson tweeted after his meeting with the prime minister.
Thompson has intensified his engagements with Nepali leadership, shortly after he presented credentials to President Bidya Devi Bhandari on Friday.
