The Chief Adviser thanked Australia for the gesture and sought investment from there and increased trade and other assistance, according to the Chief Adviser's press wing.

During the meeting, she condoled the loss of lives during the student-led revolution and said that Australia was committed to working with the interim Bangladesh government.

They touched upon a wide range of issues, including the security in Bay Bengal, the Rohingya crisis, human rights, economic corporations, tax tariffs, and minority issues.

She said Australia was now promoting peace-building, cultural, and leadership issues in the Rohingya camp.    —UNB
