Sullivan, who spoke with Yunus on Monday evening, reiterated US backing for a stable and democratic Bangladesh, according to readout from the White House. "Both leaders expressed their commitment to respecting and protecting the human rights of all people, regardless of religion," the readout said without giving details.
India and the US have expressed concern in recent months about reports of the targeting of Hindus and other minorities in Bangladesh following the ouster of the government led by former premier Sheikh Hasina in August. Bangladesh's caretaker administration has described these reports as exaggerated and Yunus has said he is committed to protecting the rights of all Hindus.
The White House readout said Sullivan thanked Yunus for his leadership of Bangladesh "during a challenging period". Sullivan reiterated the US's support for a prosperous, stable, and democratic Bangladesh, and offered the US's "continued support in meeting the challenges Bangladesh faces".
