Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus today agreed to increase connectivity with Azerbaijan aiming to boost trade and commerce and increase the exchange of scholarship programmes for students.
The Chief Adviser also laid emphasis on opening an embassy of Azerbaijan in Dhaka and launching a direct flight between Dhaka and Baku when Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan Elnur Mammadov met him at the State Guest House Jamuna here this afternoon.
“For Bangladeshi students, Azerbaijan is a remote country,” the Chief Adviser told the visiting Deputy Minister.
He said a direct flight would allow Bangladeshi students to pursue studies in the field of energy, while Azerbaijani students would also feel encouraged to learn from Bangladesh’s textile sector.
Prof Yunus said opening an embassy here would also end the visa hassle.
“Increasing your presence in Bangladesh is important for us to have a closer relationship,” said the Chief Adviser.বিস্তারিত
