Muslim40 years ago this year, U.S. Senator Edward Kennedy became the first American statesman to visit Bangladesh.  He helped to inspire generations of Americans and Bangladeshis to dedicate their lives to improving their communities through public service and volunteerism.
Over the decades, the United States has been a key development partner for Bangladesh.  The U.S. Agency for International Development recently celebrated 40 years of cooperation with Bangladesh, during which the U.S. government has provided over $5.7 billion in development assistance.
"Many partnerships have been forged and much progress has been made over the years," said U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asian Affairs Robert Blake, "including the establishment of the Bangladesh Agricultural University and many other important programs."
Bangladesh is also a focus country for U.S. initiatives promoting climate change adaptation, food security, global health, women's empowerment, and engagement with the Muslim world.
