Bangladesh and United Kingdom (UK) will hold 5th strategic dialogue in Dhaka tomorrow (Tuesday) to discuss shared commitment to developing a modern economic partnership.

UK Permanent Under-Secretary of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) Sir Philip Barton arrived in Dhaka on Monday for a two-day visit to join the dialogue.

"Sir Philip's main focus will be the fifth UK-Bangladesh Strategic Dialogue chaired by Bangladesh's Foreign Secretary Masud Bin Momen," said a press release issued by British High Commission in Dhaka.

Building on the UK and Bangladesh's historic links, the strategic dialogue reflects the two countries' shared commitment to develop a modern economic, trade and security partnership.

The dialogue will cover political and diplomatic relations, economic, trade and development partnerships, and global, regional and security issues, including the Rohingya crisis, reports BSS.

It will also provide an opportunity to boost economic and trade cooperation between the two countries, cooperation on COP28 and joint work on climate financing, adaptation and resilience to climate impacts, and showcase the UK's substantial economic development investment offer.
