US Secretary of State Marco Rubio congratulated the Bangladesh Nationalist Party and its leader Tarique Rahman following their election victory, signaling Washington’s readiness to engage the new government in Dhaka.
Rubio’s message came as senior administration officials emphasised Bangladesh’s strategic importance in South Asia during a US Congressional hearing earlier this week.
Testifying before the US House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on South and Central Asia, Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asian Affairs Paul Kapur expressed optimism about the electoral process.
