At the meeting, Nepal's Ambassador said the socioeconomic conditions of Bangladesh and Nepal are almost similar. Currently, more than 2,500 Nepali students are studying medicine in Bangladesh, and there is scope to increase this opportunity further. He also mentioned the need for 5 billion US dollars for reconstruction work following the recent devastating floods in Nepal and sought Bangladesh's cooperation. In response, Dr. Moyeen Khan described Nepal as a trusted friend and assured all possible support.
Seeking Nepal's cooperation in reactivating SAARC, the Local Government Minister said that if regional countries speak collectively in global forums, achieving the desired goals will be easier. He also called for increasing trade between the two countries through regional and bilateral agreements. The Minister said this would reduce transportation costs, ensure fair prices for goods, and improve the living standards of ordinary people. At the meeting, both sides expressed their commitment to further strengthening relations between the two countries in the future.
