US Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Afreen Akhter has said the resilience of the Bangladeshi people is very powerful and inspiring.
While visiting the Liberation War Museum on Saturday, she said the Museum movingly conveys both the facts of that period as well as a sense of what Bangladeshis experienced during that time.
“It’s an honor to have the opportunity to learn more about Bangladesh’s struggle for freedom and de-mocracy,” Afreen said.
She appreciated the experience and thanked the staff for providing an excellent tour.
Attending the 6th Indian Ocean Conference on Saturday, Afreen said the United States is committed to regional and multilateral efforts that help advance prosperity in the Indian Ocean Region.
“We want to see this regional architecture grow and solidify, because we believe it is absolutely neces-sary in realizing the potential of this region,” she said.
