Vibrant Bangladesh's featured stories may sound interesting to the Bangladeshi diaspora but it needs major uplifts focusing Washington-based diplomatic, consular, trade and business services and opportunities. Otherwise, it will look like reproduction of some news items from Dhaka. Unfortunately, this month's issue has inadvertently omitted highlights of the Special Edition on Bangladesh in Time's supplementary.
