Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina returned home on Monday after wrapping up her six-day official visit to Thailand.
A special flight of Biman Bangladesh Airlines carrying the PM and her entourage, which departed from Don Mueang International Airport in Bangkok at 10:10 am local time, landed at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka at 11:25 am.
Sheikh Hasina went to Thailand on 24 April on a both bilateral and multilateral visit at the invitation of her Thai counterpart Srettha Thavisin.
The premier on 26 April held bilateral talks with Thai Prime Minister Thavisin at the Government House (the Thai Premier's Office) and five bilateral documents were signed on visa exemption, cooperation on energy, tourism and customs matters, and negotiation of free trade agreement (FTA) between Bangladesh and Thailand in the presence of the two leaders.
During the official luncheon hosted by Thai Prime Minister Thavisin there, Sheikh Hasina called her visit a milestone in the bilateral relations between the two countries. "This official visit will remain a milestone in our bilateral relations. It has ushered in a new era of fruitful partnership between our two countries," she said.
Besides, she paid a courtesy call on the King and the Queen of the Kingdom of Thailand Maha Vajiralongkorn Phra Vajiraklaochaoyuhua and Suthida Bajrasudhabimalalakshan at Amphorn Satharn Throne Hall in Dusit Palace on 25 April.
