US reaffirms commitment to shared values with Bangladesh, emphasizes human rights
Diplomatic Correspondent
The United States has said it will look forward to working to support their shared values and interests, such as a free and open Indo-Pacific.
"We do have a defence relationship with Bangladesh," Pentagon Press Secretary Maj Gen Pat Ryder said while responding to a question during a press briefing recently.
The press secretary, however, said he does not have anything to read out right now in terms of any types of contact.
"As it relates to the Bangladesh government, of course, you know, we would expect human rights to be observed and there to be an avoidance of any type of violence," Ryder said.
