Mexico City: Bangladesh Ambassador to Mexico M. Mushfiqul Fazal (Ansarey) has stressed the importance of accelerating the process of opening a Mexican Embassy in Dhaka to enhance diplomatic ties and promote business, cultural exchange, and people-to-people connectivity. He made the urge when he met with Mexican foreign ministry’s Director General (Asia-Pacific) Fernando Gonzalez Saiffe in Mexico City on Tuesday, according to a message received here today.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, during the meeting, Ambassador Mushfique briefed the Director General on recent developments in Bangladesh, emphasizing that the Interim Government is committed to implementing necessary reforms aimed at ensuring a free, fair, and credible election. He underscored the potential for strengthening economic ties, particularly by expanding Bangladeshi exports to Mexico, including RMG, pharmaceuticals, and leather goods.
Saiffe praised the Ambassador’s proactive approach and recalled his visit to Bangladesh during the Foreign Office Consultations two years ago. He fondly reflected on his interactions with key stakeholders, including the Federation of Bangladesh Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FBCCI).
To commemorate the upcoming 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Bangladesh and Mexico, Mushfique proposed a series of joint celebratory events. Both sides expressed their commitment to deepening bilateral ties and agreed to expedite the finalization of several pending agreements to further strengthen cooperation.
