US Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asian Affairs Donald Lu has arrived in Nepal.

Lu, who arrived in Kathmandu today for a three-day visit to Nepal, is scheduled to meet with Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba and Foreign Minister Narayan Khadka on Friday. According to the US embassy in Nepal, there is a program to present an award for corporate excellence to Poorna, an American manufacturing company based in Nepal.

Lu is believed to have played an important role in getting the MCC approved by the Nepalese parliament. At a time when the Nepal government has decided not to proceed with the disputed US State Partnership Program (SPP), Lu’s visit to Nepal has been taken very seriously in the Nepali political circle.
