DHAKA, 25 February 2022, (TON): Bangladesh has appointed a US based Government Relation firm for a year to further strengthen Dhaka-Washington DC ties.
state minister for foreign affairs Shahriar Alam told reporters "we have recently appointed Nelson Mullins to maintain government to government relations, it's a GR (government relations) firm.”
He said that the government would pay the firm US 20,000 dollars monthly for its service.
He added "it's a public document and anybody can have access to it.”
The government appointed the GR firm amid a diplomatic and media uproar over a recent US sanction on some incumbent and former senior officials of Bangladesh's elite anti-crime Rapid Action Battalion over allegations of "human right violation".
The junior minister said the government has decided to hire the firm as sometimes it has been difficult for few Bangladeshi diplomats stationed in the Washington DC to engage with the whole US administration which is too wide and multifaceted.
