On Thursday, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken paid Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus a visit at a New York hotel.

They talked about topics that interested them both.

On the fringes of the UN General Assembly, Prof. Yunus met with US President Joe Biden earlier.

The tight connection between Bangladesh and the United States, which is based on strong people-to-people ties and shared democratic ideals, was reaffirmed by Biden and Prof. Yunus.

The US President expressed his support for more communication between the two countries at the meeting on Tuesday.

Biden offered continued US support as Bangladesh implements its new reform agenda, according to the readout of his meeting with the Chief Adviser of Bangladesh’s interim government.

Biden met with Chief Adviser Yunus to congratulate him on his recent appointment as the head of the interim government, according to the White House.

This was the first time in the history of Bangladesh that a US President met the head of the Bangladesh government on the sidelines of UNGA in New York, according to the Chief Adviser's press wing.

Dhaka hoped to see a new strategic partnership that will strengthen the ties with the US on all fronts.
