Over the decades, this relationship has expanded in depth and dimensions, Momen said, adding that the USA is now one of the largest sources of foreign direct investment into Bangladesh.
“However, we would like to see that US investment in Bangladesh diversifies incorporating other sectors like ICT, agro-processing, renewable energy etc,” he said.
