Bangladesh-US ties would further enhance under new US admn

US Ambassador in Dhaka Earl R Miller on Thursday expressed optimism that Bangladesh-US ties would further enhance in coming days under the new US administration.

He also assured of the continued engagement of the United States in the socio-economic development of Bangladesh.

The US envoy made the comment as he made call on Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen at the foreign ministry in Dhaka, a press release said.

During the meeting, they discussed ways and means to further enhance the existing excellent bilateral relations between two friendly nations.

After the assumption of the new US administration led by US President Joe Biden, the prospect of having closer ties between two countries has enhanced, the two sides observed.

Foreign minister also reiterated that Rashed Chowdhury, the convicted killer of the Father of the Nation, should be deported from the US without further delay.

Momen underscored that Bangladesh, given its commendable socio-economic progress in the last one decade, expects closer support from and collaboration with the US in coming days.

Seeking more US investment in the Economic Zones and High Tech parks, he emphasized that the United States may consider investing in the ICT sector in Bangladesh, a prioritized area of development.

The preservation of mangrove forest in the Sundarbans and the management of water resources can be other areas where the US can provide technical cooperation, he said adding that that Bangladesh needs technology transfer from the US.

He thanked for the continued support from the US on the Rohingya issue, underscoring that the repatriation of them remains the priority for Bangladesh.
