The U.S. state of Georgia awarded Bangladesh a special honor in appreciation of its efforts to United Nations peacekeeping operations across the globe.
A resolution recognizing the professionalism and commitment of Bangladeshi peacekeepers was handed to Chief of Army Staff General Waker-Uz-Zaman on Tuesday, according to an ISPR press release.
The resolution was presented by Georgia Governor Brian P. Kemp to the State Senate.
It was adopted with bipartisan support, praising Bangladesh’s significant global role in peacekeeping. The initiative was led by State Senator Sheikh Rahman. Earlier, the Army Chief met Governor Kemp to discuss issues of mutual interest, including military cooperation. The Army Chief has been on an official visit to the United States since March 28.
