Dhaka [Bangladesh], October 16 (ANI): Bangladesh interim leader Muhammad Yunus’s Special Envoy, Lutfey Siddiqi, held a high-level meeting with US Special Envoy for South and Central Asia and US Ambassador-designate to India, Sergio Gor, at his office in the West Wing of the White House on Wednesday, the Bangladesh Chief Adviser’s Press Wing said in a statement on Thursday.
Special Envoy Siddiqi expressed gratitude for the warm reception and appreciated the productive and wide-ranging discussions held during the meeting. Ambassador Gor and Special Envoy Siddiqi exchanged views on key areas including trade and investment cooperation, economic and governance reforms, and labour market development. They also discussed regional and global relations, electoral processes, risks of disinformation, and the importance of maintaining open, direct channels of communication.
Siddiqi conveyed appreciation for Ambassador Gor’s remarks regarding Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus and reaffirmed Bangladesh’s commitment to strengthening bilateral and regional partnerships. He also extended an invitation to Ambassador Gor to visit Dhaka in the near future.
This meeting builds on a recent dialogue between Ambassador Gor and Chief Adviser Professor Yunus, held in New York on the sidelines of the 80th United Nations General Assembly in late September.
Sergio Gor, appointed US Ambassador to India by President Donald Trump in August, also serves as Trump’s Special Envoy for South and Central Asia. Earlier this month, Gor visited India, where he held talks with External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar and expressed his intent to deepen the strategic partnership between the two nations. The US Embassy in India noted on X, “Met with EAM S Jaishankar today in New Delhi. We had a positive conversation on a range of issues. I look forward to working closely with Jaishankar to deepen our strategic partnership and make our countries more secure and prosperous.”
