Bangladesh and Saudi Arabia are keen to
work together on various bilateral and global issues, including women's
empowerment, climate change, food security and blue economy.
President Mohammed Shahabuddin and a
delegation led by Speaker of Saudi Arabia's Surah Council Dr. Abdullah Muhammed
Ibrahim Al-Sheikh have expressed this view during a courtesy call on the President
at Bangabhaban here today.
The president sought more Saudi
investments in various sectors in Bangladesh, Press Secretary Md Joynal Abedin
told BSS after the meeting.
Noting that bilateral relation between
Bangladesh and Saudi Arabia is very excellent, the head of state said
religious, cultural and economic ties between the two countries are also
strong.
He said Bangladesh strongly supports
the demand for establishing an independent Palestine state and strongly condemns
the Israeli attack on Gaza.
The President praised the leadership of
Saudi Arabia in establishing peace and unity of the Muslim Ummah.
Saudi Arabia's Mecca and Medina are very holy places for Bangladeshi Muslims, he mentioned.
Referring to Saudi Arabia as one of
Bangladesh's largest labor markets, the President said expatriate Bangladeshis
living in Saudi Arabia are making an important contribution to the
socio-economic development of both countries.
Calling Saudi Arabia a major
development partner of Bangladesh, he said Saudi investment and bilateral trade
in Bangladesh is gradually increasing. The volumes would increase further in
the days to come, President Sahabuddin hoped.
During the meeting, the Speaker of Sura
Councilor of Saudi Arabia said the Saudi government and people attach great
importance to the development of relations with Bangladesh.
The delegation lauded the
socio-economic development of Bangladesh and said their cooperation would
continue for the development of this country.
