US Army’s Pacific Commanding General Charles Flynn is arriving on a four-day visit to Nepal on Thursday, a Nepal Army source said.
Flynn is arriving in Nepal prior to Chief of Army Staff (CoAS) Prabhu Ram Sharma and Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba’s visit to the USA.
The arrival of US high ranking officials in Nepal has started rising gradually after the endorsement of the Millennium Challenge Corporation from the Parliament.
Under Secretary for Civilian Security, Democracy and Human Rights and US Special Coordinator for Tibetan Issues Uzra Zeya also visited Nepal in the third week of May.
Earlier on Tuesday, he held talks with Indian Chief of Army Staff General Manoj Pande and discussed aspects of bilateral defence cooperation.
