The Canadian High Commission in Dhaka has said the "multifaceted" Bangladesh-Canada relationship will continue to flourish, based on shared values of democracy, good governance, human rights and pluralism.
Canada recognized Bangladesh in 1972, shortly after its birth as a nation, and is "proud" of the last 52 years of its partnership, as the country has made progress to improve the lives of its citizens.
Newly appointed High Commissioner of Canada to Bangladesh Ajit Singh presented his credentials to President Mohammed Shahabuddin at a ceremony at the Bangabhaban on November 20.
Following the ceremony, the President and the High Commissioner had the opportunity to discuss the excellent relations between the two countries.
The High Commissioner noted that it is an honour and privilege for him to represent Canada in Bangladesh.
