Bangladesh welcomes Biden letter on support for economic goals
==========
President Joe Biden has sent a letter to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina of Bangladesh, expressing the US's willingness to work with Bangladesh to help achieve its economic goals. This comes nearly a month after Hasina was sworn in for her fourth term following an election boycotted by the opposition. The US government has been critical of Bangladesh's democracy and human rights records, but Biden's letter signals a desire to improve the relationship and reach new heights. The United States is committed to supporting Bangladesh's ambitious economic goals and partnering on a shared vision for a free and open Indo-Pacific. The US embassy in Dhaka has not yet responded to requests for comment. The United States is the biggest buyer of Bangladeshi clothes and has the ability to restrict visas for individuals believed to undermine the democratic election process. The Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) boycotted the election after Hasina refused their demand for her resignation and the appointment of a neutral authority to oversee the election. Hasina has been credited with turning around the economy, but critics have accused her of human rights violations and suppressing dissent.
