The United States government extended its greetings to new President Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Saturday.

“Congratulations to Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on becoming the 23rd President of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh,” the US Embassy in Dhaka said in a social media post.

“The United States looks forward to working with Honorable President Alamgir and the Government of Bangladesh to further strengthen our bilateral partnership,” the Embassy added.

Fakhrul, former local government, rural development and cooperatives (LGRD) minister and BNP secretary general, took oath as the new president on Friday.

Earlier, he won the presidential race through clinching 255 votes out of 349 in the National Parliament on Thursday, beating 11-party alliance candidate Colonel (Retd) Oli Ahmad.
