“Against the backdrop of a challenging time for the world scenario; Bangladesh-US relationship has successfully retained its solid ground,” Moriarty said in the city Saturday.

His views came while addressing an international conference on ‘Development: Tradition, Transition, Transformation” organised at a city hotel.
The Fulbright Association of Bangladesh (FAAB) – a forum Fulbright scholars in the country, organised the conference.
Speaking on the occasion, President of FAAB Hafiz G A Siddiqi said: “Fulbright scholars can contribute immensely to the socio economic development of Bangladesh. However, capacity building is required to properly utilise their knowledge and ideas”.
Fulbright Regional Research Scholar in Bangladesh David Ludden, who presented the keynote speech of the programme, focused on the spatial inequity in Bangladesh as well as in South Asia.
“Spatial inequality begins with spatial inequity”, Ludden, who is a professor of Political Economy and Globalisation at New York University, said.
“The richer section of the society grows at the expense of the poorer segment, both in Bangladesh and around the world, often not knowing that they are doing so,” he added.
He also explained the origin of spatial inequality in Bangladesh in a historical context.
