Clinton was the first US president to visit Bangladesh in 2000, when the Hasina-led administration was in office. "The US president himself requested me. Bill Clinton was the president then. He came to Dhaka and my reply was, I want to use the resources for the country's people first," Hasina said on Saturday. Hasina's remarks came on Saturday while addressing a programme of the founding anniversary of the Special Security Force or SSF, the agency responsible for providing security for VVIPs.
