Nepal

Abstract

The Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal faces many challenges as it seeks to develop its economy while consolidating its relatively new democracy. Nepal's status as a poor, relatively small, landlocked buffer state between China and India largely defines the context of its foreign policy. U.S. policy objectives with respect to Nepal include supporting democratic institutions, promoting regional stability and security, alleviating poverty, promoting human rights and sustainable economic growth, and helping build resilience to deal with climate change and natural disasters.
