U.S. Ambassador to Bangladesh Peter Haas recently gave this speech at an event in the country.
In the speech, Haas discussed U.S. government support for initiatives “that help Bangladeshi businesses meet international standards and regulations, making them more competitive in the global market,” and offered ideas for how the Bangladeshi government could reduce corruption.
Haas concluded his speech by saying that “if Bangladesh can assure citizens and investors that corruption is less prevalent here than in other markets, it will attract more investment and help the country continue the path of economic growth.”
