US wants to end all misunderstandings: Momen

Foreign Minister AK Abdul Momen today said the United States wants to have good relations with Bangladesh by ending all misunderstandings and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina had a discussion with the US State Department counsellor in this regard.

He made this comment while replying to journalists' queries after attending an orientation program at Sylhet Agricultural University as the chief guest in the morning, reports our Sylhet correspondent.

"The United States wants to work with Bangladesh. Bangladesh has a multi-dimensional relationship with the US and the issue of sanctions on the Rab is very minor. The US delegation discussed the matters with the prime minister," Momen said.

He added, "China also wants to develop intense relations with Bangladesh by exploring all the possibilities."

The minister further said Washington will help Bangladesh in the matter of the Rohingya crisis, and many countries, including the United States, have responded positively to the request to take Rohingya refugees.

Several foreign diplomats, including India's foreign secretary, have pledged to work together with Bangladesh, he told the journalists.
