“After the establishment of AmCham Nepal, his contributions were instrumental in securing recognition from the American Chamber of Commerce,” said Thapa, emphasizing the significance of this recognition in facilitating easier networking and fostering trust within the American Chamber of Commerce’s global network.

Boosting American Investment in Nepal

Thapa highlighted Keshap’s positive impact in lobbying for American investment in Nepal through various networks, expressing delight at his participation in the investment conference. “He has been supportive since the inception of AmCham. We believe his participation in the investment conference will send a positive message to American investors,” said Thapa.

Diplomatic Legacy and Expertise

As a seasoned diplomat, Keshap has been instrumental in strengthening US-India relations, advancing Civilian Nuclear Energy Cooperation, and expanding trilateral relations between America, India, and Japan. His expertise extends to multilateral engagements with organizations such as the European Union, United Nations, ASEAN, APEC, and regions like the Indo-Pacific, Middle East, Africa, North, and South America.

With his wealth of experience and influential position at the US Chamber of Commerce, Keshap’s presence at the Nepal Investment Summit is expected to bolster efforts to attract American investment and strengthen business ties between the two nations.
