US Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asian Affairs, Donald Lu, is arriving on a one-day visit to Nepal today.
This is going to be Lu’s third visit to Nepal.
During this visit, Lu will pay courtesy calls on Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal 'Prachanda' and Foreign Minister NP Saud, US Embassy in Kathmandu said.
Similarly, during his stay in Kathmandu, he is also scheduled to have a courtesy meeting with the leadership of the Nepal government, according to the embassy.
Lu had previously come to Kathmandu and met with high government representatives of the Nepal government when there was a heated debate on whether or not the MCC should be passed by the House of Representatives in Nepal.
Lu visited Nepal for two days in the last week of July last year. He had come to Kathmandu after the Nepal government decided not to implement the State Partnership Program.
Prior to that, he visited Nepal in the second week of November 2021. At that time MCC was pending in the Parliament.
