Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen said the new US visa policy will help control money laundering.
"There is nothing to worry about the new visa policy as it will help control money laundering. Who takes a (US) visa? Some rich people, and government officials. Those who are my political agents who will work in polling, they do not come to seek a visa.”
Momen told reporters after attending a programme at the International Mother Language Institute auditorium in the capital.
He referred to those who siphoned off money and hoped that money laundering will come down due to the new visa policy.
Bangladesh expects that the new US visa policy will not be applied arbitrarily in a non-objective manner, Momen hoped.
The government appreciates that the international community including the US firmly stands by Prime Minister’s sustained commitment to ensure free and fair elections.
