Why it matters
The renewed agreement concerns the country's strategic partnership with the US on nuclear energy and defense. The proposal is being considered against the backdrop of the construction of Bangladesh’s first nuclear power plant in Rooppur.
The two countries had their first civilian nuclear cooperation agreement in 1981, which was not renewed after 1991.
