The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has assured Bangladesh of all possible cooperation in the energy sector.
The assurance was given recently by UAE Ambassador to Bangladesh Abdullah Ali AlHamoudi, during a meeting with Aninda Islam Amit, State Minister for Power, Energy and Mineral Resources.
During the meeting, both sides discussed a number of issues of mutual interest.
The state minister said the UAE has historically been one of Bangladesh’s major and reliable sources of crude oil and petroleum product imports.
He reiterated the importance of bringing these supplies under a “Bangladesh First” policy framework to help the country withstand global fuel price hikes and sudden market shocks.
The UAE ambassador reaffirmed his government’s interest in the development and expansion of Bangladesh’s power and energy sectors and assured all forms of cooperation.
