Interview with Congressman James Walsh
Congressman James T. Walsh, a Republican, has been in Congress for the last 18 years. Perhaps, he’s the only member in Congress who speaks fluent Nepali and keeps a close tab on Nepal. He was instrumental in drawing considerable Congressional attention to Nepal last year and the years before.
As the Chairman of the United States Congress’ Friends of Ireland, he was closely involved with the Northern Ireland peace process. He’s an influential member of the House Appropriations Committee of Congress that controls the power of the purse.
Journalist John Narayan Parajuli spoke to Congressman Walsh for eKantipur in his office in Washington, D.C. about his experience in Congress, his connection to Nepal and his take on Nepal’s peace process.
