American Week concludes

US Corner to be set up at Sylhet Int'l University

Staff Correspondent, sylhet
An American Corner will be set up on the Sylhet International University campus to foster cooperation and mutual understanding, said US Ambassador Harry K Thomas yesterday.
The corner will have a good collection of American books, magazines, journals, pamphlets, videosand internet facility.
Not only the students, but also the general public will have access to this state-of-the-art library which will provide information about the US.
The corner will open soon, said the US envoy at the concluding session of the America Week in Sylhet.
The American Centre, Dhaka, organised the event. Held at a city restaurant, the closing ceremony was also addressed by Vice-Chancellor of Sylhet International University Professor Sadruddin Ahmed Chowdhury.
Membership of the American corner will be open to all persons aged over 16 years, the envoy said.
Students, scholars, business people and government officials will be benefited as the library will help them know better about the US, the
American way of life and ways of conducting business, he added.
Ambassador Thomas said the American Week helped forge better ties in different fields, including trade and culture.
The United States is open for business, travel and higher studies, he said.
The week had also provided a chance to put a spotlight on the USAID and USAID-funded organisations working to promote economic development and a better way of life for the people in Sylhet, the envoy said.
"We have forged links with the
Sylhetis who had studied in the US and returned to Bangladesh to apply their skills and knowledge to the needs of the country".
The American Alumni Association, a Dhaka-based organisation with more than 300 members, would look for ways to engage the Sylhetis who have returned from the US after their study in its programmes, he said.
Mayor Badar Uddin Ahmed Kamran, Suranjit Sengupta MP, Shafi Ahmed Chowdhury MP, Nazir Hossain MP, Kolim Uddin Ahmed Milon MP and Dewan Farid Gazi MP
attended the function.
Two American artistes - Lee Alison-Sibley and Terri Khan performed songs at the beginning of the programme.
