Ambassador Khatri Holds Productive Meeting with US Senator Hollen at Capitol Hill

In a significant development for Nepal-US relations, Nepali Ambassador to the United States, Sridhar Khatri, held a constructive meeting with Senator Chris Van Hollen at the iconic Capitol Hill today.

The meeting between Senator Hollen and Ambassador Khatri delved into multifaceted aspects of the bilateral relationship between Nepal and the United States. Discussions revolved around strengthening democratic stability in Nepal and the substantial US aid dedicated to fostering Nepal’s ongoing economic development endeavors.

Of particular importance was Senator Hollen’s role in advocating for the Nepali community. Having introduced a pioneering bill aimed at securing permanent residence for Nepali individuals in the United States through the framework of Temporary Protected Status (TPS), Senator Hollen has earned recognition and respect among the Nepali diaspora. Representing the state of Maryland in the US Senate, Senator Hollen is an influential figure within the Democratic Party.

The meeting emphasized the commitment of both Nepal and the United States to further deepen their collaboration on various fronts, including economic ties, shared democratic values, and people-to-people exchanges.

As the global landscape continues to evolve, such high-level engagements reaffirm the enduring bond between nations and underline the significance of diplomacy in addressing mutual challenges and advancing common goals.
