Congressional caucus eyes boost in bilateral relations

Newly inaugurated Congressional Bangladesh Caucus will promote “continued good relations” between Bangladesh and the United States.

“We look forward to strengthening the United States-Bangladesh relationship on the basis of our shared democratic values to address major issues, including climate change, human rights, and humanitarian challenges,” said Congressman Joe Wilson of South Carolina in the House of Representatives who joined with his colleagues - Congressmen Gerry Connolly, Dwight Evans and Steve Chabot as a co-chair of the Congressional Bangladesh Caucus.

Caucus Members will receive periodic updates on bilateral relationship, joint efforts to combat terrorism and promote human rights, as well as opportunities for high-level visits between the two countries, including with Ambassador M Shahidul Islam as they work to “strengthen” their relationship.

Wilson said the people of Bangladesh are well represented by ambassador M Shahidul Islam.
