The Saudi Ambassador said Saudi Arabia's government and people have always stood behind Bangladesh by providing unconditional assistance.
“And today's program provides an opportunity to recommit ourselves to working to strengthen the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's long-standing and dynamic partnership with Bangladesh,” he said.
