Throughout his trip, Assistant Secretary Lu will reaffirm the United States\u2019 commitment to supporting our partners\u2019 economic growth and promoting stability throughout the Indo-Pacific region, according to a US State Department<\/a> release announcing his visit.<\/p>\n

It is understood that India would discuss with Donald Lu the current situation in Bangladesh that has huge impact on India\u2019s national security. Besides, persecution of minorities in Bangladesh has been a matter of concern. India and the USA notwithstanding their growing strategic partnership have had different views on Bangladesh for decades with New Delhi giving primacy to political forces in Bangladesh that would safeguard its national interests. <\/p>\n

Royal and counterparts from the Indian Ministry of External Affairs<\/a> and Indian Ministry of Defense<\/a>. The Dialogue will identify opportunities to enhance the U.S.-India bilateral partnership, including defense cooperation, and expand U.S.-India collaboration in the Indo-Pacific and beyond,\u201d read the US State Department press release.<\/p>\n

In Dhaka, Bangladesh, Assistant Secretary Lu will join an interagency delegation for meetings with the Bangladeshi interim government. The delegation will include representatives from the U.S. Department of the Treasury<\/a>, USAID, and Office of the U.S. Trade Representative. U.S. and Bangladeshi officials will discuss how the United States can support Bangladesh\u2019s economic growth, financial stability and development needs, according to the press statement.<\/p>\n
