But keeping national benefits in consideration, Nepal has been giving special importance to the power nation US after its immediate neighbors,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPossibly, the Prime Minister of Nepal is visiting the United States soon. During the visit, additional development cooperation and economic aid will be possibly announced.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe US has been providing moral support to Nepal\u2019s democratic movements. It also has been a great contributor to the democratization of Nepal,\u201d Wagle said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe United States has been a contributor to Nepal\u2019s economic development. That\u2019s why the US is Nepal\u2019s largest donor, which is not a loan but a grant. MCC, which has entered the implementation process, is the hallmark of the Nepal-US development partnership,\u201d Wagle added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr Dinesh Bhattarai, Foreign Affairs Adviser to the Prime Ministers of Nepal in 2014-2015, said \u201cthe relationship of Nepal with the US has been an important part of Nepal\u2019s foreign policy, in diversifying diplomatic relations, and maintaining friendly and cooperative ties with all countries of the world. It is gratifying to note that our embassies are working together to further this relation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSouth Asia is becoming a dynamic region, economically, geopolitically, and diplomatically. Nepal looks at the US as a land of freedom. Nepal and US have common stakes in global peace, prosperity, and indeed survival and freedom. Relations have grown steadily between Washington and Kathmandu over the past seven decades,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scott H. DeLisi, former United States Ambassador to Nepal said, \u201cWe start from a strong base that finds us sharing so much in common like natural beauty and cultural diversity. I believe our nations share a commitment to democratic values, human rights, and principles of good governance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are not looking to make Nepal\u2019s position between two giant neighbors more complicated. We really want Nepal to be a successful democratic partner in a world where those of us who share fundamental values invest in each other\u2019s success. We want to be friends, and offer support to Nepal. As Nepal seeks to create a nation stronger, safer, more democratic, and more prosperous for all, we stand ready to assist.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>North Carolina: The third edition of the National Knowledge Convention organized at the Raleigh Marriott City Center in North Carolina in the United States concluded on Monday.
