Don't expect US to impose more sanctions, Minister Shahriar

DHAKA, 05 December 2022, (TON): State Minister for Foreign Affairs Md Shahriar Alam said “Bangladesh does not expect the US to impose more sanctions considering the growing engagements between the two countries.”

He told "we continuously remain engaged. We have enhanced our engagements and shared relevant information. We don't expect that the US administration will impose new sanctions.”

In December 2021, the US imposed human rights-related sanctions on Rapid Action Battalion and seven former and current officials of the agency, including recently retired Inspector General of Police Benzir Ahmed, also a former director general of the paramilitary force.
