The United States has supported this camp and urges our partners around the world to increase their contributions.

Accompanied by U.S. Ambassador to Bangladesh, Brent T. Christensen, Gor toured Camp-4, observing the humanitarian operations of the World Food Programme. The delegation's visit included meetings with Bangladesh's Foreign Minister Dr. Khalilur Rahman and a scheduled meeting with Prime Minister Tarique Rahman. Gor described his discussions with the foreign minister as productive, highlighting positive developments in U.S.-Bangladesh relations.

“

Today I visited Rohingya refugee communities in Cox’s Bazar with Ambassador Christensen. This is the largest refugee camp in the world, hosting over one million refugees.

Foreign Minister Rahman affirmed that bilateral ties between Bangladesh and the U.S. are progressing positively, building on existing achievements. The U.S. Embassy in Dhaka also announced an updated travel advisory for Bangladesh, lowering it from Level 3 (Reconsider Travel) to Level 2 (Exercise Increased Caution). The Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated this change reflects growing U.S. confidence in Bangladesh's security environment and overall stability, signaling that the country is considered safer for travel.

It was great to meet Foreign Minister Khalilur Rahman during my first visit to Bangladesh and discuss working together to strengthen the US-Bangladesh relationship. Lots of positive developments.
