Finance Adviser Dr Salehuddin Ahmed today (25 August) said the United States (US) will soon enhance support for Bangladesh to develop the agriculture sector.   

"We have no debt with the US. They always helped us with grants. That's why I asked them to help out more. They will soon help the agriculture sector. And in some cases, they will send high level teams. Those teams will have discussions. They didn't disclose who would come," he said 

The finance adviser said this while talking with reporters after meeting with Helen LaFave, the Charge d'Affaires of the US Embassy in Dhaka, at the Finance Ministry.

During the meeting, Salehuddin said he urged the US to invest more in the country's energy and climate sectors.

"The US is very important to us. Economically, they are very important. The US has a big investment in the coastal regions of Bangladesh. The US is helping us in different areas, including the agriculture sector. The main thing is that I have talked about investing more in agriculture, energy, climate and other sectors," he said.

He said they have also discussed what can be done to develop the country's technical sector.

"I have given special focus to the flood. We also discussed the private sector, especially Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association [BGMEA] and Generalised System of Preferences [GSP]," he added.
