Bernicat receives US Service Award

US Ambassador in Dhaka Marcia Bernicat has received the US Secretary's 'Distinguished Service Award', the highest honour award by the US Department of State.

"Congratulations Ambassador Bernicat on this well-deserved award," shared US Embassy in a post on its official Facebook page on Sunday.

She was honoured with the award in recognition of her exceptionally outstanding leadership and dedication in the field of foreign affairs.

Visiting Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary Alice Wells presented the award to Ambassador Bernicat who will soon complete her tenure here, reports UNB.

The US Senate has already confirmed the appointment of Earl R Miller as the next US Ambassador to Bangladesh.

The ambassador-designate must still be officially sworn in before arriving in Dhaka to present his credentials to President Md Abdul Hamid, according to a post by the official Facebook page of the US Embassy, Dhaka.

Miller, a career member of the Senior Foreign Service, currently serves as the US ambassador to Botswana- a position he has held since 2014.
