U.S. Ambassador Brent T. Christensen joined
Law Minister Mohammad Asaduzzaman, MP; Dhaka University Pro-Vice
Chancellor Professor Abdus Salam; and constitutional experts, academics, and
students at Dhaka University's Senate Hall on September 17 to mark U.S.
Constitution Day.

In his speech, Ambassador Christensen highlighted
how constant debate, the continuous search for consensus, and the American
Constitution’s emphasis on the separation of powers, judicial independence,
and the right to keep adding amendments has resulted in a resilient Constitution
that has inspired democracies around the world for over 200 years.
The Constitution Day program featured a public ceremony, panel discussion, an
essay competition, a quiz contest, and an American Founders Museum exhibition.
