KATHMANDU: The Kathmandu-based US Embassy on Monday said it launched its new website, which it claimed is new, improved and mobile-friendly.

The new site (https://np.usembassy.gov) has shortcuts to visa information, US citizen services, job opportunities, and US foreign policy on its homepage, the Embassy informed in a statement today.

"American citizens in Nepal will find resources about passports, business people can learn about doing business in Nepal and the United States, and students can find more information about studying in America," the statement read, "Users may opt to sign up for e-mail updates via the homepage."

"The site was redesigned to be more accessible for mobile phone users, since most Nepalis visit the site via mobile devices," the statement concluded, "It allows for faster loading of content over a mobile internet connection."
