US trade delegation visits Dhaka today

A delegation from the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR), led by Assistant US Trade Representative for South and Central Asia Brendan Lynch, arrives in Dhaka on Tuesday, April 5, on a three-day visit aimed at deepening bilateral trade and investment cooperation between the countries.

The delegation will visit Bangladesh from May 5 to May 7 to discuss ways to further strengthen trade and investment ties between the two countries, said the US embassy on Monday, April 4. 

The United States said it looked forward to working closely with Bangladesh on the implementation of the U.S.-Bangladesh Agreement on Reciprocal Trade, a framework expected to boost economic growth in both countries by expanding market access, removing barriers to investment and creating new commercial opportunities.

The visit would provide an opportunity for both sides to advance discussions on trade facilitation, investment cooperation and broader economic partnership as Dhaka and Washington seek to further expand their commercial engagement.

The visiting delegation is scheduled to hold a series of meetings with senior government officials, trade policymakers and business stakeholders during the three-day tour.
