US Ambassador to Nepal Alaina B Teplitz on Monday called on CPN-UML leader and former prime minister Madhav Kumar Nepal at the latter’s residence and discussed the latest political situation.

During the meeting, Nepal thanked the United States for its support to the country and hoped for further help in the changed context after promulgation of the new constitution, according to a statement issued by the party.

In a query on constitution amendment, the UML leader clarified that his party would not agree to another statute revision without valid reason. Two articles of the constitution have already been amended as demanded by the Madhes-based parties.

Ambassador Teplitz is said to have assured continued cooperation for economic development, political stability and good governance in Nepal.
