Visiting US delegation on Sunday met Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus at state guesthouse Jamuna and discussed issues of mutual interest.

"Our delegation met with the Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus, affirming our dedication to fostering inclusive economic growth, institution building, and development to benefit the people of Bangladesh," said the US Embassy in Dhaka after the event.

As Bangladesh looks to chart a more equitable and inclusive future, the US stands ready to support those efforts, the Embassy said.

US Assistant Secretary of State for the Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs Donald Lu, who arrived in Dhaka on Saturday wrapping up his India tour, joined the meeting this morning.

Bangladesh's interim government is looking forward to having "multi-dimensional" discussions with the visiting US delegation.

Assistant Secretary for International Finance at the US Department of the Treasury Brent Neiman was part of the interagency delegation for meetings with the Bangladeshi interim government.

Chief Adviser's Special Envoy on International Affairs Lutfey Siddiqui joined the meeting.

The US officials also met Foreign Affairs Adviser Md Touhid Hossain at state guesthouse Padma.

Assistant United States Trade Representative Brandon Lynch is also in Dhaka as part of the multi-agency US delegation to discuss issues pertaining to bilateral relations.

Foreign Secretary Md Jashim Uddin hosted a working lunch at state guesthouse Padma.

This is the first US delegation in Bangladesh following the formation of the interim government led by Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus on August 8.

The arrival of the first team of the United States (during this tenure) is a great reflection of the importance they attach to the relationship with Bangladesh. This implies that this discussion will be multi-dimensional; it will not be limited to just one topic, said Foreign Secretary Md Jashim Uddin.

US and Bangladeshi officials discussed how the United States can support Bangladesh's economic growth, financial stability, and development needs.
