Strained relations with US resolved: Foreign Adviser
Foreign Adviser Md Touhid Hossain
Bangladesh's strained relations with the United States (US) have been improved under the present interim government, said Foreign Affairs Adviser Md. Touhid Hossain.
There were some unnecessary strains with the US during the last government, especially towards the end of its tenure. However, since the interim government assumed the office, the situation have been improved a lot, he told reporters at a briefing at the foreign ministry here this afternoon.
The foreign adviser said that during the ousted Awami League government’s last tenure, tensions between Dhaka and Washington had been heightened unnecessarily.
He focused on Bangladesh’s relationship with the US and emphasized on maintaining good relations with all countries, reports BSS.
“Our policy is to foster positive relations with everyone. The previous strain with the US was a deviation from this policy, but now we have been able to correct it,” he said.
