Kathmandu : Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba and US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken had a telephone conversation last night.
Blinken and Deuba had a telephone conversation two days after the government’s agreement with the US Agency for International Development (USAID) Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) was approved by parliament.
They discussed Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine and the two countries’ support for Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
US Secretary of State Blinken also said on Twitter that they had talked about the ratification of the MCC agreement by Nepal’s parliament.
“We will continue to work closely together on economic development and regional challenges,” he wrote on Twitter.
Good call today with Nepal’s Prime Minister @SherBDeuba to discuss Russia’s unprovoked attack and our support for Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. We will continue to work closely together on economic development and regional challenges.
