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.
