A Conversation with Bangladeshi Foreign Minister H.E. A.K. Abdul Momen

The Path Ahead for U.S.-Bangladesh Relations

This year marks the 50th anniversary of relations between the United States and Bangladesh. Over the past five decades, Bangladesh and the United States have developed a complex relationship that spans economic and security ties as well as transnational issues like climate change. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, Bangladesh had boasted a decade of impressive economic growth, and the United States remains the top destination for Bangladesh’s exports. As the Biden administration implements its Indo-Pacific strategy, Bangladesh’s relationships with neighboring India and China suggest that it will draw increasing interest from U.S. policymakers.

Join USIP for a conversation with Bangladesh’s foreign minister, His Excellency Dr. A.K. Abdul Momen, on the lessons learned from the last 50 years and the path ahead for U.S.-Bangladesh relations.

The United States Institute of Peace is a national, nonpartisan, independent institute, founded by Congress and dedicated to the proposition that a world without violent conflict is possible, practical and essential for U.S. and global security. In conflict zones abroad, the Institute works with local partners to prevent, mitigate, and resolve violent conflict. To reduce future crises and the need for costly interventions, USIP works with governments and civil societies to build local capacities to manage conflict peacefully.
