The humanitarian with a heart for Nepal

President Carter was simple, had a deep understanding about global peace and always believed the humanitarian aspect should be prioritised for global peace.

In 1979, King Birendra Bir Bikram Shah requested me to take responsibility as Nepali ambassador to the United States. At the time, Jimmy Carter was the US President. Nepal-US relations were normal even as President Carter had given priority to the issue of human rights. Several countries were struggling to safeguard human rights. President Carter wanted to reinvigorate this issue, which was also his first foreign policy priority.
