Biden inauguration brings changes for Nepal

The new US administration has already shown signs of departing from the policies of the old one.

The inauguration of the US President Joe Biden on January 20 was, for the majority of the people around the world, a relief. Not only has the past four years been tortuous for the United States, but it has encouraged many self-centred politicians globally to pursue inward-looking authoritarian actions with complete disregard to fundamental principles of equity and justice. The inauguration speech provided a sense of calm and a direction that we will get back to a world of global cooperation through multilateralism, respect of human rights, social inclusion and the need to mitigate climate change challenges. Definitely, Nepal and Nepalis will be impacted by this in four meaningful ways.
