UNB, Dhaka :
Bangladesh and the United States have expressed deep commitments to cooperate with each other to counter terrorist financing and violent extremism.
Both countries have also recognised the threat of terrorism in the world, and acknowledged the effectiveness of counterterrorism and anti-money laundering acts in Bangladesh, according to a joint statement issued by the US Department of State on Thursday after the third partnership dialogue between the two countries.
As part of the globally recognised Financial Action Task Force (FATF) framework, in December, the US Embassy in Dhaka and the State Department will host a South Asia regional workshop in collaboration with the government of Bangladesh to focus on best practices to counter violent extremism and terrorist financing.
At the dialogue, they discussed ways to protect the important work of civil society along with broader citizens’ rights and fundamental freedoms. The US, however, acknowledged the presence of a vibrant civil society in Bangladesh.
