Finance and Trade Advisor Dr. Salehuddin Ahmed confirmed that discussions were held seeking US assistance to recover money smuggled out of the country. He shared this information while speaking to reporters after a meeting with the US delegation at the State Guest House 'Padma' on Sunday, September 15, at 11:00 am.

Dr. Ahmed stated, "Today, we engaged with the US delegation, primarily focusing on discussions with their Treasury Department and USAID. Key topics included financial reform and the necessary cooperation for the financial sector. We also explored export diversification and various technical assistance or market opportunities in trade. We will proceed with an action plan, and they have assured us of their cooperation."

Regarding the development cooperation agreement, he noted that an additional $200 million had been added to the previous agreement. "This means they will contribute extra funding," he explained.

When asked about the request for help in recovering smuggled money, Dr. Ahmed said, "All these matters were discussed, and further details will be addressed later."

He also confirmed that tax reform was part of the discussions.
