This is Boucher’s first visit to Nepal after his appointment as Assistant Secretary of State. Boucher is scheduled to address a press conference in Kathmandu on Wednesday morning.

Earlier, reports quoted Boucher as saying that the US would consider renewing military aid to Nepal, but the assistance would depend on the army’s support of the political process here.

The US along with India and UK had stalled military assistance to Nepal following the February 1 royal takeover of the last year.
