Bangladesh and the United States have discussed regional and global relations, electoral processes, risks of disinformation and the importance of maintaining open, direct channels of communication.

Chief Adviser’s Special Envoy Lutfey Siddiqi held a meeting with US Special Envoy for South and Central Asia and the US Ambassador-designate to India Sergio Gor at his office in the West Wing of the White House on Wednesday and discussed the issues.

The meeting builds upon a recent dialogue between Ambassador Gor and Chief Adviser Prof Yunus, which took place in New York on the sidelines of the 80th United Nations General Assembly in late September, said the Chief Adviser’s press wing on Thursday.

Lutfey Siddiqi expressed gratitude for the warm reception and extended appreciation for the productive and wide-ranging discussions held during the meeting.
