Bangladesh, US discuss election, regional issues
Bangladesh and the United States have discussed regional and global relations, electoral processes, risks of disinformation and the importance of maintaining open, direct channels of communication.
Chief Adviser’s Special Envoy Lutfey Siddiqi held a meeting with US Special Envoy for South and Central Asia and the US Ambassador-designate to India Sergio Gor at his office in the West Wing of the White House on Wednesday and discussed the issues.
The meeting builds upon a recent dialogue between Ambassador Gor and Chief Adviser Prof Yunus, which took place in New York on the sidelines of the 80th United Nations General Assembly in late September, said the Chief Adviser’s press wing on Thursday.
Lutfey Siddiqi expressed gratitude for the warm reception and extended appreciation for the productive and wide-ranging discussions held during the meeting.
Ambassador Gor, recently confirmed as the United States Ambassador to India, and Siddiqi exchanged views on several key areas, including trade and investment cooperation, economic and governance reforms like labour market development.
Lutfey Siddiqi conveyed appreciation for Ambassador Gor’s kind remarks regarding the Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus and reaffirmed Bangladesh’s commitment to deepening bilateral and regional partnerships, reports UNB.
He also extended an invitation to Ambassador Gor to visit Dhaka in the near future.
