Nepalese Ambassador to Bangladesh Ghanshyam Bhandari has called for deepening cooperation between Nepal and Bangladesh in areas including trade and investment, energy, education, tourism, people-to-people exchanges, and the graduation of both countries from the Least Developed Country (LDC) category.
The envoy made the remarks while delivering a lecture titled “Nepal-Bangladesh Relations: Pathways for Enhanced Economic and Educational Cooperation” at Daffodil International University (DIU) in Dhaka on Tuesday, according to a press release issued by the Nepal Embassy on Wednesday.
In his address, Ambassador Bhandari highlighted the historic friendship and expanding partnership between the two South Asian neighbours, stressing the importance of building stronger economic and educational linkages to unlock the full potential of bilateral relations.
He also outlined Nepal’s foreign policy priorities, the evolving dynamics of Nepal-Bangladesh ties, and the role of regional and sub-regional platforms such as Saarc, Bimstec, and the BBIN initiative in advancing shared prosperity and connectivity across South Asia.
During an interactive session, the ambassador engaged with students and faculty members, responding to questions on regional cooperation and future collaboration opportunities.
Earlier, in a separate meeting with DIU Vice-Chancellor and senior officials, discussions focused on expanding academic collaboration, including faculty and student exchange programs between DIU and leading universities in Nepal.
