US Secretary of State Antony J Blinken has invited foreign minister Dr AK Abdul Momen to visit Washington DC to mark the 50th year of bilateral ties that began with the emergence of independent Bangladesh half a century ago.
"This morning, I have been informed about the invitation,” Momen told a BSS diplomatic correspondent.
He said the US Department of State conveyed the invitation to Bangladesh’s Washington mission in a message while Blinken himself expressed his willingness for the in person meeting during a telephonic call in December last.
“At that time he (Blinken) said he would like to meet me in-person in Washington DC in spring of this year,” Momen said.
