“He said the US is concerned over possible repercussions the planned release of confidential documents by WikiLeaks will bring in the Nepal-US ties,” said Koirala about her meeting with the US envoy at her office Wednesday morning, adding, "The documents to be released by the WikiLeaks may not be based on facts.

The US has geared up to control possible damage that the planned publication of classified documents may result in the Nepal-US relation following the announcement by WikiLeaks on Monday to make public nearly over 2,000 US dossiers on Nepal.
Koirala told DeLisi that the Nepal-US relation will remain as cordial as it is now even after the publication of the dossiers in the coming months.
"Every country prepares the kind of reports the WikiLeaks plans to make public in diplomacy. The only difference is such reports are kept secret," DPM Koirala told Republica.
According to Koirala, the envoy during the meeting asked her not to cast doubts over the existing cordial relationship between Nepal and the US. DeLisi had reached the Foreign Ministry in the morning to discuss possible impact on the diplomatic relations between the two countries as the whistle blower website announced on Monday to release 2,600 diplomatic memos on Nepal in a phase wise manner.
"The US ambassador expressed his fear that there might be negative impacts on the diplomatic ties between Nepal and America following the WikiLeaks´ announcement," DPM Koirala told mediapersons after the meeting.
