US State Department Counselor Derek Chollet has met Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen on the sidelines of the 78th United Nation General Assembly (UNGA) at the UN headquarters in New York.
Derek Chollet disclosed about the meeting, held on Monday, in a tweet on his X (formerly Twitter) handle.
Later, at a press briefing in New York, Dr Momen said that Bangladesh has very warm relations with the US.
"US President Joe Biden wants to further strengthen and bolster this relationship," he said.
Mentioning that a friend can give advice to another friend, Momen said, "We've accepted many of their advice. If the advice is objective, we'll definitely accept those".
Chollet visited Dhaka in February this year and met with Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, the foreign minister, senior government officials, civil society members and representatives from humanitarian organisations.
