The US Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs at US Department of State said through their partnerships and innovation, together they will beat COVID-19.
In a separate tweet, the bureau thanked the BEXIMCO and Hanes partnership for the fast response to make PPE shipment to the US a reality.

On 23 March, Momen told the media that USA had sent a list of 22 items that they would like to import from Bangladesh.
Foreign minister Momen said Bangladesh is giving these medical supplies not only to the USA but other countries too.
