President Abdul Hamid stressed the need for enhancing cooperation between Bangladesh and Nepal through strengthening connectivity.
Addressing a banquet hosted by Nepalese President Bidhya Devi Bhandar recently, Hamid stressed the importance of strengthening road, rail and air connectivity, water resources management, power and energy, especially hydropower generation and boosting tourism as the two countries have immense potential in these areas.
Bangladesh attaches greater importance to its relations with Nepal, said the President adding that the people of Bangladesh recall with deep gratitude the moral and material support extended by the political leadership and the people of Nepal during the War of Liberation in 1971.
"Our two countries and people are bound together with the ties of history, culture and language," Hamid said.
