Chief Executive Officer of the Millennium Challenge Corporation Alice Albright called on Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal on Tuesday.

On the occasion, discussion was focused on various areas of Nepal-the United States cooperation including MCC projects, according to the prime minister’s secretariat.

The CEO on Monday met CPN-UML Chairman KP Sharma Oli, Minister for Energy Shakti Bahadur Basnet and Minister for Physical Infrastructure and Transport Prakash Jwala.

At a time when the MCC-funded 315-km transmission line project is facing delays due to issues related to the selection of contractors, Albright arrived in Kathmandu on a five-day visit on Sunday.

Albright, the daughter of former US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, was nominated as MCC CEO by US President Joe Biden in August 2021. She is the highest-ranking MCC official to visit Nepal after the country accepted the $500 million grant.
