The United States officially recognized Bangladesh after its independence.[2] In May 1972, the United States government opened its establishment and diplomatic residence with Bangladesh. In December 1972, the nation established its new constitution. The embassy in Dhaka was established on May 18, 1972, with Herbert D. Spivack as Chargé d’Affaires ad interim. Daniel O. Newberry served as Chargé d’Affaires ad interim, October 1972–April 1974. The first ranking ambassador arrived in April 1974. Relations have been continuous and developing since that time.
