The secretary said that along with Nepal and Bhutan, he would request the inclusion of Myanmar, if necessary, to make Japan’s ‘Big-B’ initiative more integrated and successful.
Panellist and former Foreign Secretary Mohammad Shahidul Haq said that Japan is a time-tested friend of Bangladesh and India. At this time the relations between the three countries have reached a new height.
Bangladesh has recently become a strategic partner of Japan after India. Now, these countries are working together as strategic partners. But there are some challenges in the way of trilateral cooperation, he said.
