Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Adviser Md. Fouzul Kabir Khan has expressed happiness over the growing engagements between Bangladesh and Nepal.

Commending the friendship and cooperation of Nepal and Nepali people, he underscored the need to accelerate bilateral cooperation in areas of trade, energy, connectivity, and people-to-people contacts, among others.

On the occasion of National Day and Constitution Day of Nepal, the Embassy hosted a reception in Dhaka yesterday evening (20 September).

In his welcome remarks, Ambassador Ghanshyam Bhandari highlighted that the day marked the historic promulgation of a democratic and inclusive Constitution in 2015.

“The day reminds us of the Nepali spirit of patriotism, democracy, and diversity, and is a testimony to the Nepali people’s ability to resolve their political issues and differences on their own,” he said.

Shedding light on the relationship between Nepal and Bangladesh, he emphasised the need to leverage the transformative power of solidarity and cooperation to boost connectivity and catapult economic development and prosperity for the mutual benefit of the peoples of both countries.
