Bangladesh, a South Asian country of 175 million people with a gross domestic product of $460 billion, is strategically important for the United States. The US is the largest foreign investor in Bangladesh, and the country is part of the US-led Indo-Pacific strategy.

In June 2024, five months after Bangladesh held its general elections, the country was engulfed in mass protests and upheaval. After weeks of street protests and violence, then Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Wajid stepped down and left the country, and the army helped install an interim government of technocrats led by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus.

Join 91ÆÞÓÑ for a conversation on developments in Bangladesh and their importance to US interests with former Foreign Secretary of India Harshvardhan Shringla, former Foreign Secretary of Bangladesh Farooq Sobhan, and Georgetown University Professor of Indian Politics Irfan Nooruddin. Dr. Aparna Pande will moderate the conversation.
