DHAKA, 22 November 2022, (TON): US Ambassador in Dhaka Peter Haas said “Washington does not force countries to choose sides over relations with Beijing as we don't expect every country to have the same exact assessment of China as we do.”
“Let me be clear. This is not about forcing countries to choose. It's about giving them a choice,” he said while speaking at a panel discussion at the “Bay of Bengal Conversation 2022” at a city hotel here.
Haas said even the United States like many other countries have vital economic or people-to-people ties with China that they want to preserve while US diplomacy is based on partnership and respect for each other's interests.
