US lauds Bangladesh’s success in Covid-19 handling

US Ambassador in Dhaka Peter Haas highly appreciated Bangladesh’s Covid-19 handing and vaccination programme, saying that those were "remarkable" and "really amazing", reports BSS.

"Bangladesh is clearly ahead of the United States in vaccination programmes under the leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. This is really amazing and the efficiency is remarkable," he said.

Peter Haas said the US wants to make partnership with Bangladesh in "Global Covid Action Plan" on working out future situation of the pandemic.

The envoy said as he paid a courtesy call on Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina at her official residence Ganabhaban in the capital on Tuesday.

Prime Minister’s Deputy Press Secretary Hasan Jahid Tusher while briefing the reporters after the meeting said that Haas appreciated transformation of Bangladesh under the leadership of Sheikh Hasina.

In this connection, he also mentioned that Bangladesh graduated to developing nation from LDCs under Sheikh Hasina's leadership. "It will continue to uplift further," he believed.

Haas said, "A minister level special session of US-Bangladesh along with other stake holders would be held in the sidelines of UN General Assembly."

Sheikh Hasina expressed her sincere gratefulness to US President Joe Biden for contributing vaccine to Bangladesh.

"Please convey my thanks to the President," she requested the ambassador.

Mentioning that people are suffering due to Covid-19 pandemic, Russia-Ukraine war and the Western sanction, the Premier said that they are trying to work for the people with full affordability. 

She also highlighted the measures taken by her government for the marginalised people in the society in changing their fates.

Sheikh Hasina said that her government is working following the footsteps of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman to change the fate of marginalised people.

Ambassador-at-large Mohammad Ziauddin and Prime Minister's Principal Secretary Dr Ahmad Kaikaus, among others, were present at that time.
