Bangladesh has become the 54th country to sign the Artemis Accords, an international framework for the peaceful exploration of space. The signing took place at the 2025 Investor Summit in Dhaka on April 8. Md. Ashraf Uddin, Secretary of the Ministry of Defense, signed on behalf of Bangladesh in the presence of U.S. Charge d’Affaires to Bangladesh Tracey Jacobson.
The United States emphasizes its long-standing partnership with Bangladesh. "We look forward to continuing our partnership promoting economic development and regional security in the Indo-Pacific," a statement noted.
The Artemis Accords, created by the United States and seven other nations in 2020, act as guidelines for safe and responsible space exploration. Bangladesh now joins the United States and 52 other countries, including nations such as Canada, Japan, and the United Kingdom, in supporting these principles. The U.S. Department of State and NASA guide the outreach and implementation of the Accords.
