Dhaka-Dili relations continue to grow: Chief Adviser

Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus today vowed that the relationship between Bangladesh and Timor-Leste will continue to grow and expend.

"Our relationship continues to grow. We have signed some agreements. Beyond the agreements, we also make sure our relationships in trade and investment continue and expend," he said.

The chief adviser made the comments while speaking at a joint press conference at Chief Adviser's Office (CAO), said a press release today (December 15).

He said Timor-Leste president Jose Ramos-Horta has already invited all Bangladeshi investors to come in his country with investment and encouraged the relations that created between the two nations to make bigger.

Recalling that when he first visited to East Timor, he saw many Bangladeshi every-day products selling even in villages of that country, Prof Yunus invited Timor-Leste to produce Bangladeshi products in the country as there is a bigger market around it.

Noting that many Bangladeshis have still been working in Timor-Leste, he said: "Bangladesh is very much part of Timorese history. We continue to have the relationship."
