Bangladesh: Tokyo, Dhaka should enhance security co-op, Ambassador

DHAKA, 30 November 2022, (TON): Japanese Ambassador to Bangladesh, Ito Naoki said “Japan is the largest bilateral development partner of Bangladesh. It has provided about $27 billion in grants and loans to Bangladesh since 1971. Japan is currently implementing some of the major infrastructure projects.”

Ambassador said “the two countries are willing to elevate the relations to a strategic level during Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's visit to Japan.”

Naoki said “we are working on the visit because it will be immensely beneficial for us to deepen our friendship. We still have a lot of room for developing our partnership and cooperation for peace and stability of the Indo-Pacific region. I hope the visit will take place sooner rather than later and elevate our partnership.”

He added “it is not only me. All the like minded countries' missions here hope that there will be free, fair and participatory elections. I have been talking to all the interlocutors of mine during my assignment here.”
