Bangladesh ambassador to the USA Akramul Qader met congressmen Joseph Crowley (D-NY) and Jim McDermott, (D-WA) on Thursday at their offices and sought the support, according to a press release issued by Bangladesh embassy in the US on Friday.
The GSP and New Partnership for Trade Development Act 2009 Bill are expected to help Bangladesh get more access to the US market.
The envoy expressed satisfaction over the recent introduction of a bill at the US Senate, aiming to extend GSP facilities.
He, however, voiced concern over a proposal for amendment to the bill which will have detrimental effect on the exports of some beneficiary countries in the US market," the release said.
Both the congressmen assured of their cooperation to help Bangladesh so that no harmful step is taken in this regard, the release added.
The Bangladesh envoy also briefed them about the present status of the government initiative to bring those involved in genocide in 1971 to justice.
He told the congressmen that there was no scope for human right violations while bringing them to justice as the government is committed to ensuring a fair and transparent trial as per its election mandate.
Qader welcomed Congressman McDermott when he informed that he would be visiting Bangladesh some time in April next.
