Bangladesh and the United States have engaged in discussions to strengthen cooperation in combating corruption, tackling money laundering, and recovering stolen assets.
The talks took place during a meeting between Bangladesh’s Foreign Secretary Md Jashim Uddin and US Acting Coordinator for Global Anti-Corruption, Shelby Smith-Wilson, in Washington.
Discussions also included technical support for reforms, a Mutual Legal Assistance (MLA) treaty, and enhancing expertise-sharing across key sectors. Specific focus was given to improving procurement systems, law enforcement, the judiciary, and media engagement, reflecting both nations' commitment to transparency and good governance.
Prior to Washington, the Foreign Secretary visited New York and is scheduled to depart from Washington on October 14.
