Bangladesh has proposed a long-term government-to-government (G2G) energy cooperation framework with Angola to diversify crude oil and gas imports beyond the Middle East.
The proposal was discussed during the first high-level virtual energy dialogue between the two countries.
Bangladesh also invited an Angolan technical team to Dhaka for further negotiations and expressed readiness to send its own delegation to Luanda.
Bangladesh highlighted its rising energy demand and the need for secure supply diversification, while Angola outlined its production capacity of around 1.1 million barrels of crude oil per day and plans to expand refining and gas infrastructure.
Both sides agreed to accelerate a proposed MoU on energy cooperation and strengthen technical-level engagement to develop a structured partnership.
