                                 ______

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, March 21, 2022

  Mr. GOSAR. Madam Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the upcoming 
Independence and National Day of Bangladesh and the 50th Anniversary of 
U.S.-Bangladesh bilateral relations.
  Bangladesh is a beacon in a region which has historically and even 
currently today been marred with conflict. Despite these challenges, 
Bangladesh has held firm as a democracy which is why our countries 
cooperate so closely on a range of issues, including economic 
development, security, and governance. As our countries progress and 
meet new challenges, our bond remains strong as evidenced by our 
collaboration as the world confronts the challenges of COVID-19, 
counter-terrorism, and more.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in celebrating this 
remarkable milestone between our two countries and the independence and 
achievements of Bangladesh. Our nations have accomplished a great deal 
together for the advancement of freedom, and as our relationship proves 
its strength as we confront new challenges in the 21st century, I am 
excited for what the future holds for our two great nations.

                          ____________________
