Chief Adviser Professor Dr Muhammad Yunus congratulated Donald Trump on being elected the president of the United States of America for the second time.
In a letter, he expressed heartfelt felicitations on behalf of the government and the people of Bangladesh.
"Electing you as the US President for a second term reflects that your leadership and vision have resonated with the people of the United States of America. I am confident that under your stewardship, the United States will thrive and continue to inspire others around the world," the CA wrote.
Yunus highlighted the long history of friendship and collaboration between the two countries.
"The relationship continued to grow in depth and breadth during your previous term in the office. I look forward to working together to further strengthen our partnership and foster sustainable development," he said.
Yunus wished Trump all the success, adding his belief that the two friendly nations could work towards exploring newer avenues of partnership.
Meanwhile, speaking at a press briefing today, the Chief Adviser's Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam said Muhammad Yunus has good relations with both the Democratic and the Republican parties. He also hoped that the relations between the US and Bangladesh would grow stronger in the coming days.
Addressing Trump's recent remarks about attacks on minorities in Bangladesh, he said, "Trump has been misinformed in the matter."
Donald Trump was elected US president, regaining a remarkable comeback four years after he was voted out of the White House and ushering in a new American leadership likely to test democratic institutions at home and relations outside of home.
Trump, 78, recaptured the White House today by securing more than the 270 Electoral College votes needed to win the presidency.
