The US embassy in Dhaka has denied any attempt by American agencies to unseat Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, reports bdnews24.com.
Reacting to a story "Major US operation to oust Hasina" carried by bdnews24.com, the Dhaka embassy spokesperson Monica Shie said on Thursday the news report quoting Indian intelligence had been "discussed internally".
"There is absolutely no truth to this story," she said in an emailed response. "As you know, the United States and Bangladesh enjoy a strong friendship and close cooperation on a wide range of issues including countering violent extremism, building our trade relationship while improving worker safety, and enhancing regional economic engagement."
"Just this week," Shie said, "the United States was proud to announce that we officially offered the United States Coast Guard Ship (USCGS) Rush to Bangladesh on Aug. 8.
"The Rush will complement the Somudra Joy, which was transferred to the Bangladesh Navy last year. We look forward to further broadening and deepening our bilateral relations at our annual Partnership Dialogue, scheduled for October in Washington, DC," she said.
