Bangladesh: Foreign secretary leaves for Brunei

DHAKA, 30 August 2022, (TON): Foreign secretary Masud Bin Momen is going to join a foreign office consultation meeting between Brunei Darussalam and Bangladesh scheduled for August 31 amid fuel oil crisis following the Russia-Ukraine war.

A senior foreign ministry official confirmed “Masud Bin Momen left Dhaka for Brunei, an oil-rich country in Asia, to join the meeting at a time when the Brunei government was willing to export fuel oils and Bangladesh was looking for sources alternative to traditional Arab markets to import petroleum products.”

According to officials “the secretary-level meeting between the two countries is going to be held ahead of the upcoming visit of Brunei’s sultan Hassanal Bolkiah Mu’izzaddin Waddaulah, also the country’s prime minister, to Bangladesh, possibly in October.”
