Around 45 senior executives from 25 leading US companies are set to visit Dhaka by the end of next week to explore investment and trade opportunities in Bangladesh.

During their visit, the delegation will hold meetings with officials from various government ministries and agencies, and is also scheduled to meet Prime Minister Tarique Rahman, Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) Spokesperson Mahdi Amin said at a press briefing held at the PMO in Tejgaon on Saturday.

Describing the visit as a significant step toward expanding US investment in Bangladesh, Mahdi Amin said the delegation would represent some of the United States’ top industrial and business enterprises.

The visiting executives are expected to hold a series of discussions with officials from relevant ministries and government agencies to explore potential areas of cooperation in investment and trade.

Earlier on Saturday morning, US Special Envoy for South and Central Asia Sergio Gor paid a courtesy call on Prime Minister Tarique Rahman at the Prime Minister’s Office.

Referring to that meeting, Mahdi Amin said the United States had expressed strong confidence in the leadership of Bangladesh’s elected Prime Minister, noting that stability had returned to the country under his administration and that Bangladesh was continuing on a positive democratic path.

He added that the US side also appreciated the government’s policy direction during its nearly five months in office.

According to the PMO spokesperson, the discussions focused on strengthening bilateral relations by deepening economic cooperation, particularly in the areas of trade, investment, and job creation. The two sides also exchanged views on policy support that could encourage greater participation by American companies and facilitate increased imports and exports.

Mahdi Amin said the confidence of the international community in the Prime Minister’s leadership was also reflected in the US State Department’s travel advisory, which now presents Bangladesh as more accessible for American investors and visitors.

“The government’s objective is to ensure that investors and visitors can come to Bangladesh and take advantage of the new economic opportunities emerging through the country’s democratic progress,” he said.

Expressing optimism about future ties, the spokesperson said Bangladesh and the United States were expected to elevate their longstanding relationship to a new level, attracting greater American trade and investment and generating substantial employment opportunities in the country.

He also noted that the United States had long supported Bangladesh as a friendly nation throughout its democratic journey and expressed appreciation for Washington’s continued confidence in the Prime Minister’s leadership.

Additional Press Secretary Atikur Rahman Rumon, Deputy Press Secretary Jahidul Islam Rony, and Assistant Press Secretary Nazmul Haque were also present at the briefing.
