UNB, Dhaka :
Effusive about Bangladesh’s potentials, US Assistant Secretary for South and Central Asian Affairs Nisha Desai Biswal has said Bangladesh stands to develop tremendous commercial ties with the rest of Asia through its very strategic location and wealth of natural resources.
She came up with the observation while delivering her speech on ‘The United States and India: Our Economic Opportunity in Tomorrow’s Asia’ at the American Center, New Delhi, on Thursday.
Biswal also said, the United States is very
interested in supporting India’s economic connections both west into Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Central Asia; and east with Bangladesh, Myanmar, and Southeast Asia.
“We fundamentally believe that greater economic connectivity will boost regional stability and prosperity. It’ll create new markets and new opportunities, and most of all, it will create new incentives for peace,” she said.
