Bangladesh and Japan on Tuesday discussed a wide range of issues including the overview of bilateral relations, trade, commerce, investment, infrastructure, human resources development, defence and security cooperation.
They also discussed cultural issues and people-to-people contacts, cooperation in bilateral and regional issues as well as sustainable repatriation of the forcibly displaced Rohingya population to Bangladesh.
Bangladesh and Japan discussed the issues at the 5th Foreign Office Consultations (FOC) held at the State Guest House Padma in Dhaka.
Foreign Secretary Masud Bin Momen led the Bangladesh side while the Japanese side was led by the Senior Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs of Japan ONO Keiichi.
This FOC is a follow-up of the bilateral engagements since elevation of the bilateral relations as “Strategic Partnership” which was declared during the last visit of the Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to Japan in April 2023.
