Friday, 5 February 2010


US Under-Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs Judith A McHale arrives in the city Saturday on a three-day visit seen as significant in bolstering the bilateral ties and cooperation between Dhaka and Washington.
Ms McHale is the highest-ranking Obama administration's official to visit Bangladesh after Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina assumed office in January last year, the American Centre announced Thursday, reports UNB.
During her visit, she will meet Bangladesh government officials, academics, and business-and civil-society leaders.
