This year marks the 50th anniversary of relations between the United States and Bangladesh. Over the past five decades, Bangladesh and the United States have developed a complex relationship that spans economic and security ties as well as transnational issues like climate change.

Abdul Momen, on the lessons learned from the last 50 years and the path ahead for U.S.-Bangladesh relations.
