The newly appointed Ambassador of the US to Bangladesh Peter Haas has said that the relationship between US and Bangladesh is broad and dynamic. In a statement issued after presenting his credentials to Bangladesh President Abdul Hamid on Tuesday, Peter Hass said that the cooperation between the two countries on economic issues, development, security, and climate change demonstrates the range of strong partnership and future potential.
The statement further said that beyond the work of the government, the US and Bangladesh are closely linked by people-to-people ties. He said that together the two countries have delivered greater prosperity to their people while working to make the Indo-Pacific region more open, more secure, and more prosperous.
President Abdul Hamid urged the newly appointed US Ambassador to encourage his country’s entrepreneurs to invest in various sectors in Bangladesh. He also expressed the hope that the US would continue to put pressure on Myanmar for the repatriation of Rohingya refugees to their homeland with dignity.
