Dhaka to increase cooperation with Yangon: Iftekhar


Foreign Affairs Adviser Iftekhar Ahmed Chowdhury yesterday said Bangladesh has been broadening cooperation with Myanmar in a number of areas, including trade and agriculture.

In July the government is planning to send a delegation to be led by the power secretary to Myanmar, followed by a team from the Agriculture Ministry, he said while talking to the media after a meeting with Myanmar Ambassador in Dhaka Nyan Lynn at his office in the city.

Foreign Office Consultations between the two countries would be held in Dhaka shortly, he said.

The Myanmar ambassador said they discussed ways and means to further deepen the bilateral political and economic relations following the foreign adviser's visit to Myanmar last April.
