US President Donald Trump has said Washington is confident of advancing bilateral economic development with Bangladesh, while working together on promoting security in the Indo-Pacific.

Trump made the remark in a message to Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus, where he greeted the interim government head and the people of Bangladesh on the occasion of Bangladesh Independence Day.

The US president expressed high hopes for the current post-dictatorship transitional phase in Bangladesh. The transition gives Bangladesh a chance "to build capacity for democracy, economic progress, and enhanced security," he said.

"The United States looks forward to continuing our partnership in this coming decisive year," he wrote.

"On the occasion of this Independence Day celebration, please accept my sincere best wishes to you and the people of Bangladesh," he said in his concluding remarks.
