The interim government believes there will not be any major change in US policy towards Bangladesh after Donald Trump becomes the president of the United States.
In response to questions from newsmen at the foreign ministry, foreign adviser Md Touhid Hossain made the remark on Thursday evening.
When asked about the challenge of relations between Dhaka and Washington after Donald Trump is elected president, Touhid Hossain said, "There is no necessity to speculate anything in advance. There is time, let us see two more months. Afterwards, Donald Trump will take charge, what steps he takes, accordingly.... He didn't say relations with Bangladesh will be good or bad, he didn't say anything."
The foreign adviser said it is not the fact that the relation with Bangladesh develops based on a party.
The matters, which were being discussed with the Biden administration, the demand they made, the negotiations that were going on, had also been discussed with the Trump administration.
So this cannot be said that there will be a major shift in policy of the Trump administration and Biden administration, he pointed out.
Touhid said, "Let us see, afterwards we will communicate. We will see what happens."
When asked about his participation at the UN counter-terrorism conference, Touhid Hossain said, "Bangladesh has once again made clear its commitment to a zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of terrorism. Bangladesh has also said that holding a conference will not yield any result if the main reason of terrorism is not addressed. Anti-terrorism activities are increasing and the number of terror attacks is also increasing simultaneously. This means that the activities that are being taken are not yielding any result."
