Lu sets politics aside, tries to reach out to people

City Desk :
Having spent much of his time in exploring the taste of Fuchka in Dhaka, visiting US Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asian Affairs Donald Lu has got engaged with social media influencers, apparently going for people instead of politics.

His long informal conversation with PM’s adviser Salman F Rahman over dinner, inclusion of a young climate activist in civil society small group discussion and his plans to meet cricketers ahead of the T20 World Cup demonstrate the scope and thrust of his visit differ greatly from previous ones – before the elections in Bangladesh, reports UNB.

“We were thrilled to join the engaging discussions with the influential social media personalities and dedicated volunteers from Bangladesh.

Whether you’re into diplomacy, social impact, or just looking for some inspiration, these episodes of ‘Cha with Peter + Don’ are a must-watch,” the US Embassy in Dhaka shared on its social media platforms.

Foreign Secretary Masud Bin Momen recently said the pre-election scenario and the current scenario are totally different.
