Sheikh Hasina expressed her firm believe that the existing engagements and partnerships between the two countries will be further consolidated and cemented for the people’s welfare of both the countries through shared efforts.
To that end, the Premier said that she looks forward to working closely with Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
