US Ambassador to Bangladesh Marcia Bernicat on Tuesday said there should be more coordinated cooperation to combat terrorism and suggested sharing of more information among nations to deal with the global problem.
“We love to see more cooperation. We would like to coordinate very closely, especially to deal with explosives,” she told reporters on the sidelines of a function of American Center at the city’s EMK Center.
The US Ambassador came up with the remarks when her attention was drawn to the recent attack in Sylhet where terrorists used suicide vests. Bernicat mentioned that the US government has been providing training to police officers as part of the US offer for assistance to combat terrorism.
She said one of the police officers killed in Sylhet had received training from the USA, and more US experts are coming here to provide training to police personnel. “We’re going to bringing in a lot more training, lot more equipment.” The American Center organised the discussion on violence against women. The Ambassador also inaugurated an art exhibition of Ayesha Siddika, a trafficking victim of Jessore.
