KATHMANDU, July 10: The United States (US) is preparing to provide COVID-19 vaccines to Nepal, which will be enough to vaccinate 1.5 million people, in a few days. 

Randy Berry, US Ambassador to Nepal, taking to Twitter on Friday, said that the US government will donate vaccines at no cost to Nepal which will fully vaccinate 1.5 million people. 

“I could not be any prouder of our 73-year long partnership,” wrote he, adding, “America will stand with Nepalis, and we will continue to work tirelessly to improve their lives."

आउँदा केही दिनमा अमेरिकाले १५ लाखभन्दा बढी नेपालीलाई पुग्नेगरी कोभीड१९ खोप निशुल्क उपलब्ध गराउंदैछ। नेपाल-अमेरिका साझेदारीको ७३ बर्ष लामो यात्रामा यो मेरो लागि अत्यन्तै खुशीको क्षण हो। अमेरिका सदैव नेपालीहरूको साथमा छ र नेपालीको जीवनस्तर सुधारमा निरन्तर काम गरीरहनेछ। 🇺🇸🙏🇳🇵 pic.twitter.com/h00rhlhmds
