On November 6, the Russia-Bangladesh Intergovernmental Commission (IGC) on Trade, Economic, Scientific and Technical Cooperation continued its work and carried out a series of constructive discussions. The day was marked by the Plenary session of the IGC, which brought together governmental officials and representatives of business communities of both nations. Trade and industrial cooperation, agriculture and energy – these are just some of the topics highlighted during the consultations. Both sides agreed that the session proved that there is a strong interest in sustainable development of our trade and economic ties.

The day culminated with the Signing ceremony of the Protocol of the 5th Meeting of the Commission. The document was signed by the Co-Chairpersons of Russian and Bangladeshi parts of the IGC. The text encompassed all the aspects of bilateral relations discussed during the meeting of the Commission, and will serve as a guideline for further practical cooperation and implementation of joint projects.

The Russian side thanks the Bangladeshi partners for efficient interaction throughout these two days and hopes that the agreements made during the IGC meeting will bring tangible results for the benefit of Russia and Bangladesh.
