Kathmandu, Jan. 23: US Ambassador to Nepal Randy Berry met with Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli here on Thursday to discuss President Biden’s top priorities. 
 During the meeting, Ambassador Berry noted that the Biden administration wants to partner with Nepal and other countries to meet the common challenges that no single nation can face on its own, according to the US Embassy in Nepal.
The topics of partnership can range from climate change to nuclear proliferation, and from cyberwarfare to global health challenges like COVID-19.
Ambassador Berry told Prime Minister Oli the new US administration will use diplomacy as the premier tool for global engagement. 
President Biden believes in international cooperation to solve common challenges like COVID-19.  To that end, President Biden will resume U.S. membership in the World Health Organisation.  He will also restore the U.S. relationship with other international organisations and reinvigorate partnerships with democracies around the world, including Nepal, Ambassador Berry said.
