Bangladesh Ambassador to the USA M Shahidul Islam has laid emphasis on exploring the untapped potentials between Bangladesh and Colombia for further strengthening the relations in diverse areas.
"It's time to explore the untapped potentials," he said after presenting his Letters of Credence as the non-resident Ambassador to Cambodian President Ivan Duque Marquez in a ceremony held at the Presidential Palace in Bogota, Colombia recently.
The Ambassador thanked the Colombian government for its consistent support to the Rohingya issue at the UN.
He underscored that his prime objective as the Ambassador to Colombia would be to explore the potential for deepening cooperation and overall relations between the two countries and two peoples.
Appreciating Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s leadership role in promoting the cause of the climate-vulnerable countries, the President agreed to participate at the high-level opening session of the Climate Vulnerable Finance Summit organised by the Vulnerable Twenty (V20) Group of Ministers of Finance, which Bangladesh presides, to take place virtually on July 8.
