US Senator Dick Durbin has met Bangladesh Ambassador to US Muhammad Imran.



Dhaka, Mar 14 -US Senator Dick Durbin has met Bangladesh Ambassador to US Muhammad Imran and discussed issues of mutual interest.

"The US values its relationship with Bangladesh, and I appreciate its help to Rohingya refugees," Senator Durbin said.

"In my meeting with Ambassador Imran, I called for an end to the harassment of Prof. Yunus," he wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. - UNB
