Bangladesh: US Senator Kennedys to visit Dhaka Oct 29-Nov 5

DHAKA, 25 October 2022, (TON): The family members of late US Senator Edward M Kennedy, who was a staunch advocate for Bangladesh's Liberation War as opposed to the Nixon administration, will be visiting Bangladesh from October 29-November 5.

The visit, a part of the yearlong celebration of the 50th anniversary of US-Bangladesh relations, comes days after two US Congressmen introduced a resolution calling to recognise the genocide against the Bangalees in 1971.

Kennedy's son Edward M Kennedy Jr, a former member of Connecticut State Senate, and five his family members, will call on Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and Foreign Minister AK Abdul Momen.

They will also visit the Bangabandhu Memorial Museum, Liberation War Museum and visit the historic banyan tree planted by Kennedy in Dhaka University.
