The U.S. plans to promote its defense system in Bangladesh after the elections to counter China's influence

Foreign media: The US plans to promote its and its allies' defense systems to the new government in Bangladesh after the general election, to counter China's growing influence in South Asia.

The US ambassador to Bangladesh said that the US hopes Bangladesh becomes aware of the potential risks of certain collaborations with China and offers alternatives.

China has signed agreements with Bangladesh to build a drone factory near the India border, and also plans to purchase JF-17 fighter jets developed jointly with China from Pakistan. The US hopes Bangladesh maintains good relations with India to maintain regional stability, and calls for more international support for the Rohingya refugee issue, stating that the US cannot bear most of the burden alone.
