French Ambassador Jean-Marc Séré-Charlet on Thursday underlined the importance of ensuring a fair and level playing field to encourage greater engagement by European companies in Bangladesh's aviation sector.
The Ambassador emphasised the commitment of European aerospace leader Airbus to supporting the growth of Bangladesh's aviation industry.
The issues were discussed when he met Chairman of Biman Bangladesh Airlines Rumee A. Hossain to discuss opportunities for strengthening cooperation in the civil aviation sector.
The Ambassador said enhanced cooperation with Airbus would strengthen Biman Bangladesh Airlines' fleet capacity, contribute to the development of the country's aviation ecosystem, and reflect Bangladesh's commitment to building a long-term partnership with the European Union.
He recalled the strong and longstanding partnership between France and Bangladesh and explored ways to deepen collaboration in the aviation sector.
He highlighted France's continued commitment to supporting the development and modernization of Bangladesh's aviation sector, citing the successful cooperation between Thales and the Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh (CAAB).
