We have ‘sweet’ ties with US: Momen
Bangladesh has a "sweet" relationship with the US, said Foreign Minister AK Abdul Momen yesterday, as he looks to deepen US-Bangladesh ties in the coming days.
"We have a sweet relationship with the US. They are number one in terms of trade and investment. They are with us both on good and bad days. The relations will deepen because we have shared values of democracy," he said.
He made the remarks at a press conference at the foreign ministry, ahead of BIMSTEC summit in Sri Lanka, to be held on March 30.
The comment comes just three days after the US-Bangladesh Partnership Dialogue in Dhaka, and a few days ahead of a meeting between US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Momen in Washington on April 4. Momen said Bangladesh strongly demanded that the US withdraw the sanctions on Rab, detailing the remedial measures Dhaka has taken to improve Rab's performance during the visit of US Undersecretary for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland on March 20.
"There were no deaths in the last three months. They [US] are very happy. We said we are taking remedial measures."
