French companies are now involved in a variety of sectors, including the engineering, energy, aerospace and water sectors. Bangladesh and France hope that the visit of the French President will take the friendly relations between the two countries to new heights.
Earlier, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina had visited France in November 2021 at the invitation of French President Emmanuel Macron.
Foreign Minister AK Abdul Momen had earlier said that Bangladesh and France would discuss ways to increase trade and investment between the two countries besides issues like climate change and regulated migration during the talks.
Climate change and Rohingya crisis are the two major issues to be discussed during the meeting. Macron arrived in Dhaka on Sunday evening on a two-day official visit to Bangladesh after attending the G-20 summit in New Delhi, India.
