State Minister for Foreign Affairs Shama Obaid stated that every agreement signed between Bangladesh and the United States will be implemented while safeguarding Bangladesh’s national interests. She assured that these agreements will be discussed in detail both in the National Parliament and outside it. She made the remarks on Tuesday, March 24, during a briefing with journalists at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Responding to a question about whether the trade agreement signed during the interim government’s tenure would be discussed in Parliament, the minister noted that the United States is a major party in the ongoing conflict in the Middle East and that multiple agreements with the US have economic implications for Bangladesh. She emphasized that all such agreements would be executed in a way that protects the country’s interests.

When asked about government action regarding international recognition of March 25 as Genocide Day, Shama Obaid said that the government has already taken initiatives for the observance and will remain engaged on the issue.
