Bangladesh has sought Vietnam’s support in favour of Bangladesh’s candidacy as a sectoral dialogue partner of ASEAN.

Bangladesh also invited Vietnam to invest in the economic zones in priority areas including agriculture and ICT sectors.

Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen met Foreign Minister of Vietnam Bui Thanh Son on Thursday afternoon on the sidelines of the ASEAN Regional Forum in Phnom Penh, Cambodia and discussed the issues.

He requested Vietnam to exert its friendly influence on Myanmar to take its citizens back to Myanmar, said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Momen also suggested the regular exchange of more technical expertise to boost trade, commerce and investment further, reports UNB.
