Finance Minister AHM Mustafa Kamal has urged the United States to make more investment in Bangladesh.
The minister made the call when US Ambassador to Bangladesh Peter D Haas made a courtesy call on him on Sunday (April 3) at his office in the Secretariat.
“Bangladesh is no longer a ‘development miracle’, rather a role model of development for others. The country currently stands 41st in the world economy, which was 60th in 2006,” he stated.
AHM Mustafa Kamal further said that the diplomatic relations between Bangladesh and the United States have expanded in various fields.
He also thanked the United States for its support in various ways including providing vaccines to Bangladesh during the fight against Covid-19.
The US Ambassador praised Bangladesh’s economic progress. He also lauded the steps taken by Bangladesh and the vaccination programme to address the health and socio-economic challenges posed by the pandemic.
He expressed confidence towards investment opportunities and benefits of the United States in Bangladesh.
Peter D Haas also assured that the United States would stand by Bangladesh in its development efforts.
Secretary of Economic Relations Fatima Yasmin was also present in the meeting.
