Clinton to visit Dhaka May 5


DHAKA NEWS

Dhaka, Apr 26 US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will arrive in Bangladesh on May 5 on a two-day trip, the State Department announced on Thursday.

She will travel to Bangladesh on May 5- 6 before rounding off the two-nation South Asia tour in India on May 7-8. Clinton will depart Washington D.C. on Apri30, it added.

In Dhaka, Secretary Clinton will meet senior government officials and civil society representatives to review "robust US-Bangladesh cooperation across the full range of political, economic, and security matters".

Clinton's sudden decision to visit Bangladesh and India came as a surprise as a stopover in Dhaka was not on her initial Asia itinerary that was primarily meant to attend the fourth round of US-China Strategic and Economic Dialogue in Beijing on May 3-4.
