Dhaka: US President Joe Biden expressed his full support for the Interim government of Bangladesh led by Prof Muhammad Yunus during a bilateral meeting with Bangladesh’s Chief Adviser at the UN General Assembly in New York, media reports said on Wednesday.

Chief Adviser Yunus held the meeting with the US President on Tuesday morning (NY Time) which is seen as a “rare occasion” and will help take the existing good relations to a new level between the two countries, The Dhaka Tribune reported.

The US President has made history by meeting the head of the Bangladesh government on the sidelines of UNGA for the first time in Bangladesh’s history.

Bangladesh stated that the meeting with the US President signifies the escalating ties between the two nations.

“This is an important day. It is very rare (to see such a meeting) at the UNGA,” Chief Adviser’s Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam said.

Bangladesh maintains strong relations with the US, and this meeting aims to elevate these ties to a new level, he added.

Professor Yunus emphasised that his government must succeed in rebuilding the country and would require US cooperation.

President Biden remarked that if the students could make such sacrifices for their country, then they should also do more.

Professor Yunus handed a copy of The Art of Triumph, a book on wall paintings drawn by the students and young students during the revolution, to President Biden during the meeting, the reports said.

Bangladesh and the US are working on a number of issues closely, including labour sector reforms and the Rohingya crisis.
