Chevron supplies nearly 60% of Bangladesh's natural gas - powering homes, businesses, and economic growth across the country, said the US Embassy in Dhaka on Wednesday.
Ambassador Christensen also talked with President and CEO of Excelerate Energy Steven Kobos about meeting Bangladesh's growing energy demands by tapping American innovation to expand LNG and energy infrastructure to deliver cleaner, more reliable energy to homes and businesses.
The US envoy recently led a delegation of 25 Bangladeshi business leaders to the SelectUSA Investment Summit in Washington, D.C.
Assistant US Trade Representative Brendan Lynch recently visited Bangladesh and held ‘productive’ meetings with Bangladeshi government officials, the US business community, Bangladeshi companies, and labor organizations.
The two sides discussed ways to strengthen the trade and investment relationship through implementation of the US-Bangladesh agreement on reciprocal trade, which the US thinks will enhance economic growth in both countries by improving market access, removing barriers to investment, and boosting commercial opportunities.
