Bangladesh: Dhaka seeks Delhi's advice on Russian energy purchase, Momen

DHAKA, 31 May 2022, (TON): Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen said “he sought advices from his Indian counterpart on how New Delhi is purchasing oil from Russia amid Ukraine crisis as Bangladesh is an energy dependent country. “

He told reporters while speaking about his meeting with Indian External Affairs minister S Jaishankar "Russia offered us energy and wheat. It has become a real problem (energy demand). We sought their suggestions on how they are doing it.”

Momen arrived here last night after attending the two-day NADI Conclave with his Indian counterpart S Jaishankar in Guwahati.

He said "we didn't hold any formal bilateral meeting with him but we discussed on many issues in friendly manner.”

During the talk, the foreign minister said he suggested his Indian counterpart to strengthen the cooperation between the regional countries to develop own immunity against any western crisis.
