US doesn't endorse one political party over another in Bangladesh

The United States has reiterated that it does not endorse one political party or candidate over another in Bangladesh.

'And as we have said, the United States supports free and fair elections in Bangladesh as well as around the world, and we do not endorse one political party or candidate over another,' Principal Deputy Spokesman of US Department of State Vedant Patel said in a regular media briefing on May 2.
Patel also said, 'Broadly what I will say is that the US doesn't consider it interference to have honest dialogue with our friends and partners about concerns that we have and shared interests that we have that may or may [not] impact the bilateral relationship, that may - may or may [not] impact regional concerns and regional priorities.'
Spokesperson Patel said the US embassy in Dhaka acts as an envoy for bilateral relationship with Bangladesh as well as all US embassies around the world do.
