S. Asia, UK Presidents Meet with Bangladesh’s Fresh PM
During the meetings, the leaders reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening bilateral relations, including cooperation in trade and investment, connectivity, energy, education, health care, climate change, migration, people-to-people contacts, and regional collaboration.
Attending the meetings were Maldives President Mohamed Muizzu, Bhutan Prime Minister Dasho Tshering Tobgay, Indian Parliament Speaker Om Birla, Pakistan Planning Minister Ahsan Iqbal Chaudhary, Nepal Foreign Minister Bala Nanda Sharma, Sri Lanka Health and Mass Media Minister Nalinda Jayatissa, and UK Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for the Indo-Pacific Seema Malhotra.
The leaders paid separate courtesy calls on Rahman, representing their respective governments at the ceremony. Rahman reaffirmed his commitment to working closely with partners in South Asia and beyond to consolidate bilateral ties and promote peace, stability, and prosperity in the region.
Rahman, leader of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), was sworn in as the country’s 11th prime minister and the first male head of government since 1991. He will serve a five-year term leading the 300-seat Parliament and a 49-member Cabinet.
Earlier Tuesday, 297 lawmakers were sworn in for the 13th Parliament, elected in last week’s elections — the first since the 2024 uprising that ended the 15-year rule of the Awami League. The new Parliament includes 212 lawmakers from the BNP-led bloc and 77 from the Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami-led bloc.
