US Ambassador to Bangladesh Peter Haas on Tuesday said people who support free and fair election and work towards that end have nothing to fear regarding the new US visa policy.
“I don’t see any disagreement at all,” he told reporters, noting that they in the US want the same what the people of Bangladesh want-a free and fair election.
Ambassador Haas made the remarks while responding to questions on the new visa policy after a function in Dhaka.
He said the US sees positive things rather than challenges. “We have a very strong partnership on trade, security relations, people to people ties, healthcare, and good conversation on the upcoming election.”
The ambassador spoke at the inaugural ceremony of a photo exhibition titled “Roots of Friendship: 50 Years of U.S.- Bangladesh Relations” at Edward M. Kennedy Center.
State Minister for Foreign Affairs Md Shahriar Alam spoke as the chief guest.
