Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Sunday congratulated Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan on his assumption of the office of the President of the United Arab Emirates.
"Your election to this position manifests the strong confidence and deep trust that the UAE's Federal Supreme Council and the people of the UAE have reposed in your able leadership and profound wisdom," she said.
She recalled with deep appreciation in her letter the historic recognition of Bangladesh as an independent sovereign state by the UAE as the first Gulf country on 10 March 1974, which paved the way for achieving our recognition from the brotherly Arab countries, thus laying the foundation for the bilateral partnerships with the region.
She mentioned the rock-solid bilateral relations have reached today the high watermark of mutual collaboration with remarkable progress in many areas, including cooperation in human resources, business, trade, commerce, investment, culture, education, and defence sectors.
