As Bangladesh continues on its mission to foster stronger bilateral ties with other nations, it is extremely encouraging to see more avenues of partnership being sought with Turkey.
During the Turkish Ambassador to Dhaka's visit to the Prime Minister on Tuesday, the PM implored increased investment from Turkey, as well as collaboration on the issue of Rohingya repatriation.
Bangladesh's rapid infrastructural development has garnered the attention of businesses from a number of nations in recent months, which is certainly good news for our development goals.
To that end, that Turkish businesses have expressed an elevated interest in investing in Bangladesh opens more doors for our economic progress.
Furthermore, the Turkish Ambassador also affirmed continued support in facilitating the safe and sustainable repatriation of the Rohingya refugees that Bangladesh is currently hosting. This could be instrumental for our nation, as international support on this front has been lacking so far.
Bangladesh and Turkey have shared a strong friendship for a long time, and current partnerships being discussed are certainly the right move to deepen ties for greater mutual interest.
It is praiseworthy that Bangladesh has made it a priority to continue fostering deeper relations with other nations, especially at this stage of our development. As we move closer to graduating from our LDC status, our diplomatic relations and economic partnerships are what will help us keep our progress on track.
The government must continue to explore newer avenues of collaboration with other nations. We have exhibited impressive economic advancement on our own over the last many years, but in order to realize our dream of sustainable and overall development, aid from our developed neighbours is imperative.
