Chief Whip expects strong BD-US cooperation in trade, technology

Chief Whip Md Nurul Islam on Tuesday said the United States has consistently stood beside Bangladesh in its democratic journey and expressed hope for enhanced cooperation in trade and technology in the coming years.
"The United States has always supported our democratic journey," he said during a courtesy meeting with a visiting US delegation at his office in Parliament, reports UNB.
The Chief Whip said the US remains one of the largest export destinations for Bangladesh's ready-made garment sector.
The US delegation included Deputy Chief of Mission Megan Bouldin, Political Adviser Eric Gillan and Political Specialist Firoz Ahmed.
Megan Bouldin described the Parliament Building as "a powerful symbol of the longstanding friendship" between Bangladesh and the United States. "Students of American architecture often wish to visit this building as it is regarded as one of Louis Kahn's finest works," she said.
