The bilateral meeting between Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and French President Emmanuel Macron began today.
The meeting on diversifying the existing relationship started at the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) here this morning.
Earlier, on his arrival at the PMO at 10:20 am, the French president was received by the Bangladesh premier with a flower bouquet.
Following the bilateral meeting, they will also have a Tete-a-Tete.
A couple of bilateral agreements or Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) are likely to be signed in presence of the two leaders.
Later, they will hold a joint press briefing.
Before leaving the PMO, Macron will sign the visitor’s book kept there.
Earlier in the morning, he paid glowing homage to Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman by placing a wreath at Bangabandhu’s portrait and then visited the Bangabandhu Memorial Museum at Dhanmondi-32 here.
The visit of French president at the invitation of the Bangladesh premier will be the occasion to “concretize some projects and boost” further economic relations between the two countries.
This is Macron’s first visit to Bangladesh and second visit of any French President as former President Mitterrand had a tour to Bangladesh on February 20-24 in 1990.বিস্তারিত
