The United States and Bangladesh have agreed to deepen cooperation in counter-terrorism through capacity enhancement.
This was decided during the fifth partnership dialogue between the two countries at the U.S. Department of State in Washington on Thursday.
The Partnership Dialogue, established in 2012, is a regular policy consultation designed to advance common agenda and opportunities for cooperation across the full range of bilateral and regional issues.
On the first day of the Dialogue, according to sources in Bangladesh, the delegations held in-depth discussions on issues like peacekeeping efforts, trade and investment. U.S. Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Thomas Shannon and Bangladesh Foreign Secretary Md. Shahidul Haque led their sides at the two-day dialogue with the objective of “broadening and deepening the partnership”.
