Nepal Ambassador to Bangladesh Ghanshyam Bhandari expressed the hope that his country would be able to start energy trading with Bangladesh soon.

"Bangladesh and Nepal would be able to start energy trading soon as Nepal has vast hydropower potential," he said when he paid a courtesy call on Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus at the State Guest House Jamuna on Tuesday. 

During the meeting, the envoy congratulated the Chief Adviser on taking over the leadership of the Interim Government after a historic student-led mass uprising in July-August.

He mentioned that the two South Asian nations are members of SAARC and BIMSTEC, and both countries have "excellent" bilateral relations based on shared history and very deep people-to-people interactions.

The economic engagement between the two countries is still at a modest level, the envoy said while expressing gratitude for the Bangladesh government's generous offer to Nepal to use the Chattogram and Mongla ports.

The Ambassador also appreciated Bangladesh government for hosting a significant number of Nepali students, especially in medical education sector. "Many doctors of Nepal were educated in Bangladesh," he said.

In the meeting, the Chief Adviser enquired about the activities of the SAARC, the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation, which didn't have any summit after 2014.

The headquarters of the SAARC is based at the Nepalese capital of Kathmandu.

The Nepal envoy highlighted the importance of strengthening regional cooperation through SAARC and BIMSTEC and working closely at various multilateral forums.    —BSS
