B’desh Foreign Secretary arrives for FO consultation
View(s):Bangladesh Foreign Secretary Ambassador Mohammed Shahidul Haque arrives in Colombo today leading a six member delegation to hold the second Foreign Office Consultation with his Sri Lankan counterparts.
The visit is a routine one, but has added significance because Bangladesh is Chairman of the Commonwealth Ministerial Action Group (CMAG) which meets in London next Friday. CMAG is expected to discuss the forthcoming CHOGM (Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting) scheduled to be held in November this year in Sri Lanka.
Foreign Secretary Karunathilleke Amunugama will lead the Sri Lanka delegation at these talks which will discuss the joint study of marine-connectivity between ports of both countries, trade and investment and the import of pharmaceuticals from Bangladesh, joint ventures in pharamaceuticals, training of Bangladesh nurses in Sri Lanka and related matters.
