October 4, Kathmandu:<\/strong> Chief Executive Officer of Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC), Alice Albright said she was confident and optimistic for the timely completion of the MCC project. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At a press conference on Tuesday, visiting CEO Albright mentioned she found the Nepal government and other stakeholders effortful with dedication for its implementation as the project has to be completed within five years since its commencement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“MCA Nepal has the responsibility for MCC implementation. This is a structure under the Nepal government”, CEO Albright added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

CEO Albright shared that projects under MCC have been executed in different parts of the world and stressed the need for cooperation from all sides to overcome challenges to be evolved in course of its implementation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sharing that the high-level meetings and discussions during her Nepal visit were fruitful, she said matters related to the successful implementation of the project were discussed on the occasion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Noting that MCC has already entered into implementation and she was very excited after the high-level meetings and discussions, Albright expressed her confidence that the project would be completed in the designated period. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The MCC CEO further mentioned they had agreed and accepted the interpretative declaration attached to MCC while endorsing the MCC-related proposal from the parliament. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She further said MCC was a crucial part of the US foreign grants assistance and its execution believably would further deepen the Nepal-US relations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further, CEO Albright expressed her hope that the project would help develop reliable electricity service and road networking as well as open up avenues for electricity export through the construction of transmission lines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She went on saying that the projects under such grants would contribute to the economic growth of Nepal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the grants programme, the Nepal government and MCC have anticipated improvements of roads and enhanced reliable access of Nepali people to the clean and affordable energy, she said, adding it would help strengthen energy and transport sectors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

CEO Albright said the Nepal government itself has also made investment in the project so the Nepal government has shown strong commitment to the project keeping it under the national pride project category. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also on the occasion, US Ambassador Dean Thompson and MCA Nepal’s Executive Director Khadga Bahadur Bista also responded to the queries of journalists on the project affairs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The MCC compact has already entered into execution since last August 30. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The MCC compact was signed between the Nepal government and MCC under the US government on 14 September 2017. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
