Import more quality products
Dipu Moni asks Indonesian foreign minister
Foreign Minister (FM) Dipu Moni requested her Indonesian counterpart to import more quality products from Bangladesh, including pharmaceuticals, jute and jute products and ceramics.
She made the request during a bilateral meeting with Foreign Minister of Indonesia Marty Natalegawa on the sidelines of the Third Bali Democracy Forum on Friday.
Dipu Moni also proposed to simplify the visa procedure to enhance people to people contact and their movements especially the business communities.
Both the foreign ministers agreed to review the entire gamut of bilateral relations and look for new avenues of cooperation with each other.
In this regard, Dipu Moni invited Marty to visit Bangladesh to lead his side in the next round of Joint Commission Meeting between Bangladesh and Indonesia.
Dipu Moni also proposed to revise the present Air Services Agreement between Bangladesh and Indonesia to allow the private airlines to operate between the two countries since the national carriers cannot utilise the existing provision.
Marty appreciated the proposal and agreed to review the present visa regime.
Bangladesh foreign minister also met with Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyad al-Maliki during another bilateral meeting.
Riyad requested Bangladesh's support in its political quest for an independent Palestine and also cooperation in capacity building and human resource development.
Dipu Moni reiterated Bangladesh's unflinching support towards establishing a viable and independent Palestinian state.
Earlier, she held bilateral meeting with the Foreign Minister of Australia and Deputy Foreign Minister of Maldives.
