The multi-agency US delegation was led by Assistant Secretary for International Finance at the US Department of the Treasury Brent Neiman. Assistant Secretary of State for the Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs, Donald Lu, who arrived in Dhaka on Saturday from India, also joined the delegation.
The meeting came over a month after Yunus, known for his deep relations with Washington, was installed Bangladesh’s Chief Advisor following the resignation of Sheikh Hasina who fled the country on August 5 amidst student-led mass protests.
