Russian Ambassador to Bangladesh Alexander V Mantytskiy paid a farewell call on Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus at his Tejgaon office on Wednesday.
During the meeting, Mantytskiy recalled his eventful time in his more than three-year tenure as the ambassador of the Russian Federation.
He updated the Chief Adviser on the progress of the Rooppur nuclear power plant, which is expected to generate power next year. The plant is primarily funded by Russia, and its experts are implementing the project.
Russia's state run company Gazprom's exploration activities in Bangladesh, Russian exports of wheat and fertiliser and repayment of the debt of the Rooppur plant were also discussed during the meeting.
The Chief Adviser appreciated Russian cooperation in power and energy sectors and Russia's role as a supplier of wheat and fertiliser to Bangladesh.
He said the Interim Government would resolve the payment issues over the Rooppur project. He welcomes more Russian investment in Bangladesh.
"We will work together," he said.
Lamiya Morshed, senior secretary and head of SDG Affairs, and Md Abul Hasan Mridha, Director General of the foreign ministry, were also present during the meeting.
