The French Ambassador to Bangladesh offered “technical, legal, and institutional” support to Bangladesh for its reform agenda, focusing on curbing corruption and reforming governance and financial systems. This offer came during her maiden courtesy call on Foreign Affairs Adviser in Dhaka, where she presented a congratulatory message from the French Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs.
The adviser praised the long-standing Bangladesh-France relations and welcomed France’s support for the interim government’s reform efforts. He emphasized the interim government’s commitment to implementing reforms to enhance business, foreign direct investment (FDI), labor sector improvements, and human rights.
The French ambassador noted growing French interest in investing in Bangladesh, driven by improving business conditions. She also raised concerns about human trafficking and migrant smuggling, to which the adviser reaffirmed Bangladesh’s commitment to addressing these issues and urged international pressure on Myanmar for a durable Rohingya solution.
