Press Release

Thirty-four high-ranking officers of the Bangladesh Civil Service, including Additional Secretaries and Joint Secretaries, departed for Pakistan today to participate in a two-week Executive Leadership Training Programme at the National School of Public Policy (NSPP), Lahore. High Commissioner Imran Haider was present at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport, Dhaka, to see off the delegation.

Earlier, the High Commissioner hosted a dinner in honour of the participants of the Executive Leadership Training Programme. Addressing the participants, he described the programme as an important initiative to strengthen bilateral cooperation through institutional engagement, professional collaboration and people-to-people exchanges. He highlighted the vision and commitment of the leadership of Pakistan and Bangladesh to promote closer ties and expanding cooperation in public administration. He also underscored the longstanding historical, cultural and familial bonds between the two countries and emphasised the considerable potential for expanding cooperation in the fields of education, science and technology, trade, culture, media, climate change and digital governance.

Referring to the Pakistan-Bangladesh Knowledge Corridor, announced by Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Senator Muhammad Ishaq Dar, during his visit to Dhaka in August 2025, the High Commissioner noted that 170 Bangladeshi students had joined leading Pakistani universities in 2026, with another 20 expected to do so shortly. He also recalled that the first batch of 12 senior Bangladeshi civil servants had successfully completed the Executive Leadership Training Programme earlier this year. The current delegation is the second batch to participate in this initiative, reflecting the growing institutional cooperation between the two countries.
