According to Bangladesh’s prime minister, Sheikh Hasina, bilateral ties with France will develop into a strategic partnership for everyone’s shared prosperity.
“I am confident that our bilateral relations can move to strategic engagements for the shared prosperity for all in the Indo-Pacific and beyond,” she told a banquet hosted in honour of French president Emmanuel Macron at the Hotel InterContinental here.
The prime minister announced that they are opening up new spheres of collaboration in innovative technology and strategic assets.
“Our partnership can be a meaningful force to address the multiple crises of wars, climate change and cost-of-living that our world is facing,” she said.
France has been Bangladesh’s dependable development partner since the country’s independence, according to the prime minister. We have established a strong trade alliance with a focus on ethical business practices, she added.
After attending the G-20 Summit in New Delhi, India, Macron traveled to Bangladesh tonight at the invitation of prime minister Sheikh Hasina.
It gives me tremendous pleasure and honor to host the French president at this banquet, according to Sheikh Hasina.
“I recall your warm hospitality at the Elysee Palace in November 2021. I am delighted that you have accepted my invitation to visit Dhaka,” she said. The people of Bangladesh join in the banquet with her in welcoming “you (French president) and your delegation here.”
