Dhaka, June 9 /Xin Hua/ — Bangladesh and Russia have held negotiations aimed at strengthening cooperation in the field of labor resources and expanding bilateral trade. Currently, Dhaka seeks to diversify its labor market, while Moscow aims to deepen economic interaction with this South Asian country.
As stated in the statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Bangladesh, published on Tuesday in Dhaka, Bangladesh proposed to increase the number of its workers in Russia to 100,000 people over the next year.
Currently, about 10 thousand citizens of Bangladesh work in the Russian Federation.
The statement clarifies that the head of the Bangladesh Foreign Ministry, Halilur Rahman, has put forward an appropriate proposal for a three-day visit to Russia, and the Russian authorities have agreed to promptly work out this matter. Both parties expect to complete the necessary formalities shortly.
The two countries also noted that current trade volumes are significantly below potential. H. Rahman spoke about the possibility of a rapid increase in exports to the Russian market of Bangladeshi products such as ready-made clothing and pharmaceutical goods.
In this regard, the Russian side welcomed the proposal to receive a business delegation from Bangladesh in the coming weeks.
An important place in the negotiations was occupied by cooperation in the field of technologies, in particular artificial intelligence /AI/.
H. Rahman proposed to send a delegation to Bangladesh on the issues of the use of AI in agriculture and healthcare. The Russian side agreed to this proposal.
The Russian side also expressed interest in assisting Bangladesh in the development of a national AI policy and the establishment of AI centers of excellence in this country. –0–
