When I look back over the past 50 years the progress that Bangladesh has made is absolutely incredible. The strides you have made the economic development, the reduction of poverty, it\u2019s really great and I\u2019m pleased that the United States has been a partner to you during those last 50 years.<\/p>\n<p>Our 50 years that we\u2019re celebrating today, one of the things that really symbolizes it is the tree that Senator Edward Kennedy planted at the University of Dhaka. So at this site where so many atrocities took place and where the Pakistani army cut down this tree, the idea that Senator Kennedy came here and planted it and that it\u2019s still there, and when I had the opportunity to visit it, it just said something to me about our entire relationship and how it\u2019s lasted and how it\u2019s sturdy like that tree.<\/p>\n<p>What makes me more excited to be posted here to be the U.S. Ambassador here at this time is looking forward to the next 50 years. The opportunities we have to work together are incredible whether it\u2019s on human rights, on democracy, on poverty alleviation, on combating the effects of climate change, building business ties, more Bangladeshi students studying in the United States, the cultural exchanges, it\u2019s just really a fantastic time to be here and today\u2019s a wonderful day to celebrate our partnership and to look forward to the next 50 years.<\/p>\n<div class=\"video-container bottom-space\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Ambassador Haas's Message on 50th Anniversary of U.S. - Bangladesh Diplomatic Relations\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jZs5yFNtHTM?feature=oembed&amp;enablejsapi=1&amp;origin=https:\/\/bd.usembassy.gov\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":904,"featured_media":20300,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[3292,3851],"locations_taxonomy":[],"class_list":["post-20299","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-press-releases","tag-u-s-bd"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.1 (Yoast SEO v28.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Ambassador Haas\u2019s Remarks on 50th Anniversary of U.S. \u2013 Bangladesh Diplomatic Relations - U.S. Embassy in Bangladesh<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/bd.usembassy.gov\/27699\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Ambassador Haas\u2019s Remarks on 50th Anniversary of U.S. \u2013 Bangladesh Diplomatic Relations\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/bd.usembassy.gov\/27699\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"U.S. Embassy in Bangladesh\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2022-04-04T13:37:00+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-11-28T13:39:21+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/bd.usembassy.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/151\/2023\/11\/AMB-Remarks-Thumbnail-750x423-1.png\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"750\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"423\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/png\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"U.S. Embassy Dhaka\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"U.S. Embassy Dhaka\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/bd.usembassy.gov\\\/27699\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/bd.usembassy.gov\\\/27699\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"U.S. Embassy Dhaka\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/bd.usembassy.gov\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/8221ea411b0fd3af16069d1d718855b7\"},\"headline\":\"Ambassador Haas\u2019s Remarks on 50th Anniversary of U.S. \u2013 Bangladesh Diplomatic Relations\",\"datePublished\":\"2022-04-04T13:37:00+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2023-11-28T13:39:21+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/bd.usembassy.gov\\\/27699\\\/\"},\"wordCount\":13,\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/bd.usembassy.gov\\\/27699\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/bd.usembassy.gov\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/sites\\\/151\\\/2023\\\/11\\\/AMB-Remarks-Thumbnail-750x423-1.png\",\"keywords\":[\"Press Releases\",\"U.S. &amp;
