DHAKA, 20 August 2022, (TON): Newly inaugurated Congressional Bangladesh Caucus will promote continued good relations between Bangladesh and the United States.
Congressman Joe Wilson of South Carolina said "we look forward to strengthening the United States-Bangladesh relationship on the basis of our shared democratic values to address major issues, including climate change, human rights, and humanitarian challenges.”
Caucus members will receive periodic updates on bilateral relationship, joint efforts to combat terrorism and promote human rights, as well as opportunities for high-level visits between the two countries, including with Ambassador M Shahidul Islam as they work to strengthen their relationship.
The Caucus was established, in part, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Bangladesh and the US, which began in 1972, soon after Bangladesh secured its independence from Pakistan.
