US President Donald Trump on Thursday pushed for stronger trade and defence ties with Dhaka as he congratulated Bangladesh's new Prime Minister Tarique Rahman on assuming office.
In a letter released by Bangladesh's Foreign Ministry, Trump called Rahman to maintain momentum in the bilateral trade relations and take "decisive action" to complete defence pacts.
Rahman, 60, was sworn in as the 11th prime minister on Tuesday after leading his Bangladesh Nationalist Party to a forceful victory in the 13th Parliamentary polls held on February 12. He replaced interim government chief Muhammad Yunus.
