August 15, 2008
The United States congratulates the people of Nepal and their Constituent Assembly on the election of Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal. We hope that election of the Prime Minister removes the last barrier to speedy formation of a government, constructive action on key issues facing Nepal, and a start on the difficult but necessary task of drafting Nepal's new constitution.
The United States will continue its strong support for peace, democracy, human rights and development in Nepal. We look forward to working with the new government of the Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal and building upon the historic ties between our peoples.
