Proposed Russian nuke power plants can boost ties: Dipu Moni
Foreign Minister Dipu Moni yesterday said operationalisation of the country's nuclear power plants with Russian assistance could form an important element in defining bilateral relations between Bangladesh and Russia in the coming years.
She told this when Ambassador of the Russian Federation to Bangladesh Gennady Trotsenko paid a farewell call on her at the foreign ministry in Dhaka yesterday.
At the meeting, they discussed the state of Bangladesh-Russia bilateral relations, including finalisation of a number of agreements and MoUs, which were expected to be finalised this year, says a foreign ministry press release.
In this context, Dipu Moni particularly mentioned about the setting up of the atomic power plants in the country with Russian assistance.
She also acknowledged the ambassador's contribution in shaping the bilateral engagements in numerous fields during his five-year tenure in Bangladesh.
