Bhutan PM leaves Bangladesh after two-day visit

Bhutanese Prime Minister Tshering Tobgay left for home today (24 November) after concluding his two-day state visit to Bangladesh.

Foreign Adviser M Touhid Hossain saw him off at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport as the flight carrying the Bhutanese prime minister departed around 8:30am.

Commerce Adviser Sheikh Bashir Uddin and Foreign Secretary Asad Alam Siam were also present at the airport on the occasion.

Before his departure, the Bhutanese prime minister was accorded a static guard of honour in line with state protocol.

During his stay in Bangladesh, the two countries signed two Memoranda of Understanding — one on healthcare services and another on internet connectivity. The Bhutanese Prime Minister also attended a series of events, including bilateral talks with Bangladesh Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus.

His schedule also included meetings with advisers, key government officials and political leaders.
