A delegation of three French senators on Sunday met State Minister for Foreign Affairs Shama Obaed Islam at her office and discussed issues and ways to further strengthen political engagement between Bangladesh and France.
They discussed bilateral and multilateral issues during the meeting.
Senators Guillaume Chevrollier, Pierre-Alain Roiron and Olivier Henno arrived in Dhaka on Saturday night on a three-day official visit.
Ambassador of France to Bangladesh Jean-Marc Séré-Charlet and Head of the Political Wing of the Embassy Christian Bec accompanied the senators during their meeting with the State Minister.
They are part of the French-Southeast Asia and Bangladesh Senate Friendship Group, and the visit is particularly meaningful as it is the first political-level visit from France since the new democratically elected government took office in Bangladesh, said the French Embassy in Dhaka.
