Dhaka: The United States has reiterated its interest in strengthening energy cooperation with Bangladesh, with a focus on greater involvement of U.S. companies in the country’s growing energy sector.
According to a Facebook post by the U.S. Embassy in Dhaka on Sunday, U.S. Ambassador Peter Haas Christensen met with Energy Advisor Dr. Muhammad Fouzul Kabir Khan to discuss opportunities for expanding collaboration in key areas of energy development. The discussions highlighted the role American companies can play in supporting Bangladesh’s efforts to ensure reliable and sustainable energy supplies.
The embassy said U.S. energy solutions already contribute to Bangladesh’s energy landscape, particularly in onshore oil and gas exploration, strengthening the national electrical grid, and supplying liquefied natural gas (LNG) and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). These initiatives help deliver dependable energy to households and businesses across the country.
The meeting reflects ongoing cooperation between the two countries aimed at meeting Bangladesh’s rising energy demand while promoting modern, efficient, and diversified energy sources. Expanding U.S. private sector engagement is also seen as a way to support economic growth and energy security in Bangladesh.
Bangladesh has been seeking foreign investment and technical expertise to modernize its energy infrastructure, and U.S. companies are viewed as potential partners in achieving long-term energy reliability and sustainability.
