16 June 2014

Bangladesh and Cambodia have decided to set up a joint commission to boost bilateral relations and conclude bilateral agreements on agricultural and cultural cooperation, investment promotion and protection.

Diplomatic sources said Dhaka and Phnom Penh finalised the decision to sign four deals in December 2010 during the then Bangladesh Foreign Minister meeting with Cambodian Minister of Foreign Affairs. The official talks between Hasina and Prime Minister Hun Sen will be held on Tuesday, and it will be followed by signing of four agreements and memoranda of understanding. The bilateral relations and cooperation between the two nations strengthened in recent years following the signing of a trade agreement on August 4, 2006.

Earlier, Bangladesh had offered scholarships to Cambodian students for studying at Bangladesh Agricultural University. Both countries had also agreed to hold joint researches in the agriculture sector. According to the program schedule, Hasina will host a banquet in honor of Hun Sen. Cambodian premier will also visit National Mausoleum in Savar and Bangabandhu Memorial Museum in the capital.
