Bangladesh to request US reconsidering sanctions on RAB: Momen

Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen on Saturday said Bangladesh would request the United States to reconsider the sanctions imposed on elite force Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) and withdraw the sanctions considering its positive role in the country. 

"RAB is now much more mature. We will have a request that they (US) should reconsider the decision," he told reporters after attending a discussion at Nabab Nawab Ali Chowdhury Senate Bhaban Auditorium, University of Dhaka.

Donald Lu, who became Assistant Secretary of State for the Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs on September 15, 2021, is scheduled to arrive here tonight (January 14), wrapping up his India tour.
