The Prime Minister made the comments while giving the joint press statement with President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih after the two leaders had bilateral discussions earlier in the day.
Reflecting on the official talks held today, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina noted that direct air connectivity between the two countries has been enhanced in the hopes of improving people-to-people contact and exchange of tourism cooperation.
She further announced the Bangladeshi government’s decision to facilitate visas on arrival for Maldivian nationals in the context of the improved situation in the current pandemic and issuing long-term student visa facilitation for Maldivian students in Bangladesh.
Both leaders noted that the Maldives and Bangladesh enjoy a traditionally and historically close relationship and that as close neighbors both countries share common attributes through our values, faith, and traditions.
