Most global brands doing business in Bangladesh have decided not to move away from the country. They will continue to buy products from Bangladesh’s garment sector despite serial attacks on the foreigners by the Islamist extremists.

Despite the terror strike at a Dhaka restaurant that raised eyebrows of many US-based fashion brands, the Alliance for Bangladesh Worker Safety has declared that most of the US companies have decided to stay in Bangladesh and purchase products from Bangladesh’s garment industry.

Meanwhile, along with other friendly countries, US has also expressed serious concern over the security conditions in Bangladesh and offered help in country’s fight against terrorism. People of Bangladesh have been witnessing serial attacks on religious minorities, foreign nationals and independent bloggers from the last couple of years, but the Dhaka café attack was the biggest among them that caught global attention since many foreigners including Japanese, Italian and Indian nationals were killed in the attack.

In order to help Bangladesh in its fight against growing extremism, the United States has agreed to work together. Bangladesh’s Information Minister Hasanul Haq Inu has recently made it clear that like Bangladesh, the US is also worried about the security situation in the country. He added that the US has expressed willingness to work with the government of Bangladesh to address issues like cyber crime and militancy.
