US Ambassador to Bangladesh Brent T Christensen on Saturday underscored the importance of strengthening people-to-people ties between Bangladesh and the United States, saying they want to share more of America's history and values to deepen mutual understanding.
Speaking to reporters at Justice Shahabuddin Ahmed
Park in Gulshan, Christensen said the story of America has inspired people
around the world, including many in Bangladesh.
"We want to share more of our history with
Bangladesh and help build people-to-people understanding between two
countries," he said.
The ambassador made the remarks while visiting the
"American Fair" organised as part of the United States' Freedom 250
celebrations.
The US Army's 25th Infantry Division Brass Band is
performing in collaboration with the US Embassy in Dhaka at various events
across the country.
"We're also sharing history, sharing values,
sharing ideals. So it's a really fantastic experience," Christensen said,
adding that the celebrations offer a great way for us to bring a taste of
America.
"Today is our real birthday. It's exciting to
be here. We're having great celebrations across Bangladesh," said the
Ambassador.
The US Embassy in Dhaka earlier announced the launch
of “America Week 2026.”
