Bangladesh has expressed strong interest in diversifying its energy sources through cooperation with Canada’s Saskatchewan state, focusing on conventional energy, clean technologies and emerging areas such as small modular reactors (SMRs).
High Commissioner of Bangladesh to Canada Md Jashim Uddin made the remarks during a series of high-level meetings in the province as part of his official visit, according to a message received recently.
During his meeting with Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe, the envoy proposed establishing a Bangladesh-Saskatchewan framework of cooperation to structure engagement in key areas, including energy, agriculture, agri-food value chains and research collaboration.
The Premier welcomed the proposal and expressed interest in advancing both immediate and long-term cooperation under the framework.
Provincial Minister of Trade and Export Development Warren Kaeding was present at the meeting.
