Swedish Minister for Foreign Affairs Margot Wallstr”m has greeted her Bangladesh counterpart AH Mahmood Ali marking the 45th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Bangladesh and Sweden on Saturday.
In a letter to her Bangladeshi counterpart, Wallstr”m said “shortly after independence, Bangladesh and Sweden became close partners in development cooperation. I am deeply impressed by the results that Bangladesh has achieved in economic development and poverty alleviation.”
Over four-and-a-half decades, we have laid the foundations for our future relations – where cooperation is not only found in development, but also in trade, culture, science, technology and people-to-people contacts, the Swedish Foreign Minister noted.
She further expressed confidence that together Bangladesh and Sweden will “continue to promote our shared values – democracy, peace, human rights and tolerance.”
