This week in Kathmandu, U.S. Embassy Public Affairs Chief Mike Harker engaged with BSc and MBA students in an insightful discussion on the role of education and commercial diplomacy in advancing the U.S.-Nepal partnership.
Harker emphasized how academic exchanges and business engagement not only deepen people-to-people ties but also contribute to expanding markets and promoting long-term regional stability. He underscored the importance of education in building a skilled workforce and the impact of bilateral collaboration in fostering innovation and sustainable economic growth.
The event was hosted by U.S. exchange program alumnus Asish Thakur and highlighted the contributions of U.S. government program alumni in driving entrepreneurship, innovation, and global collaboration.
Through continued investment in education and cross-border partnerships, the United States and Nepal are working together to promote shared prosperity, unlock new opportunities, and empower the next generation of leaders in both countries and beyond.
