DHAKA, 03 April 2022, (TON): Bangladesh will seek wider and diversified cooperation from the United States and demand again the withdrawal of sanctions imposed on the Rapid Action Battalion as a minister-level bilateral meeting is set to take place in Washington on April 4.
Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen left for the US night to hold a bilateral meeting with his US counterpart Antony J Blinken at the US Department of State.
Momen ahead of his visit said "we'll raise the issue reconsidering sanctions on Rab.”
Terming Bangladesh a peaceful country, he said Bangladesh is less interested in defence procurement from the US but wants to engage in those areas which ensure people's welfare.
He said “there are many new areas of cooperation, technology transfer, pharmaceuticals, blue economy, food security and climate change, where the US side can come forward.”
"We're willing to diversify our trade and investment."
Bangladesh will invite US investments in special economic zones and hi-tech parks in the country.
