The foreign minister wanted more Maldivian students to study in the medical and engineering institutions in Bangladesh.
Referring to the cooperation in the tourism sector, the foreign minister expressed her intention to reap benefits from the Maldivian experience and wanted a visit of some Maldivian tourism officials to Bangladesh.
Regarding issues relating to trade, the High Commissioner stated that it was one of his high priorities to introduce Bangladeshi products in the Maldivian market and to help enhance interaction between the business communities of the two countries.
The envoy said that he would work for the formation of a business council between the two countries.
