SULAIMANI (ESTA) — France’s Foreign Ministry on Tuesday said President Emmanuel Macron is scheduled to visit Bangladesh on September 10th.
This will be the first time a French president visits the South Asian nation in 33 years.
The French Embassy in Dhaka confirmed the visit on its social media accounts.
“It will also be an opportunity to deepen our bilateral relations with a country that is experiencing rapid economic growth and seeking to diversify its partnerships,” the embassy said.
“Since the country is particularly vulnerable to climate change, the president will recall France’s determination to stand by Bangladesh on its humanitarian front, in particular in the face of regular floods,” it added.
