Top political leaders including Speaker of the House of Representatives (HoR), Agni Prasad Sapkota, have expressed their views that the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) has to be approved by forging a national consensus. 

However, HoR Speaker has yet to put MCC on the agenda, Spokesperson and Joint Secretary at Federal Parliament Secretariat Rojnath Pandey told NepalNews. He said that it is up to the government when to include MCC in the agenda of the parliament session.

Meanwhile, the US officials have expressed confidence that the MCC Compact with Nepal would be ratified by the HoR at the earliest which would help strengthen Nepal-US cooperation and collaboration subsisting for 73 years.
