Ted Kennedy Jr., the son of the late US Senator Edward M. Kennedy, and three other members of his family paid Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina a visit this morning at her official Ganabhaban residence.
The prime minister acknowledged the late US Senator Edward M. Kennedy for his remarkable support of the then-East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) during the Liberation War, despite the Nixon administration's support for Pakistan at the time.
The PM recalled the visit of Kennedy Sr to Bangladesh in February, 1972 as Ted Kennedy Jr, his son, daughter and wife had meeting with Sheikh Hasina.
The premier also called Kennedy Sr "a true friend of Bangladesh".
Ted Kennedy Jr, a former member of Connecticut State Senate, is now on seven-day visit to Bangladesh from October 29-November 5 to join the yearlong celebration of the 50th anniversary of US-Bangladesh relations.
