US President Joe Biden has offered his country’s full support to Professor Muhammad Yunus-led Interim Government of Bangladesh.
BSS reported, citing the CA’s press wing, that the US president offered support during a rare one-on-one meeting with Bangladesh Chief Adviser Prof Yunus on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York today (September 24).
The meeting was held at the UN headquarters at 11 am (NY time), the first meeting of the Bangladesh interim government chief with the US President.
President Biden expressed the US government’s “full support” to Bangladesh and the Prof Muhammad Yunus-led Interim Government during the meeting.
Prof Yunus apprised him about how the students rose against the tyranny of the previous government and gave their lives to create this opportunity to rebuild Bangladesh.
He stressed that his government must succeed in rebuilding the country and would need US cooperation.
President Biden said that if the students could make so many sacrifices for their country, they, too, should do more.
Prof Yunus handed over a copy of ‘The Art of Triumph’, a book on wall paintings drawn by the students during the revolution, to President Biden during the meeting.
