Observer Online Report

Bangladesh has proposed government-level cooperation with Kosovo to facilitate employment opportunities for skilled Bangladeshi professionals, while seeking to expand bilateral ties in climate action, waste management and technology transfer.

The proposal was made during a meeting between State Minister for Foreign Affairs Shama Obaed Islam and Kosovo's Minister of Environment and Spatial Planning Fitore Pacolli-Dalipi at the Bangladesh Pavilion at COP31 in Türkiye on Saturday (November 14).

During the meeting, the two sides discussed exchanging expertise and experiences in flood control, water resource management, air quality improvement, recycling and waste management.

Shama Obaed proposed government-level cooperation to help meet Kosovo's demand for skilled workers by creating employment opportunities for qualified Bangladeshi professionals.

She also emphasised the need to strengthen bilateral relations through regular political dialogue, high-level visits and exchanges of trade delegations.

When the Kosovan minister expressed interest in visiting Bangladesh, Shama Obaed invited her to visit the country at a mutually convenient time.

The Bangladeshi state minister also highlighted the potential of diversifying jute products and promoting jute as an environmentally friendly alternative to plastic.

During the meeting, she presented the Kosovan minister with a jute handicraft item and invited her to visit Bangladesh's jute pavilion in the Green Zone at COP31.

State Minister for Environment, Forest and Climate Change Sheikh Faridul Islam and Prime Minister's Special Assistant Dr Md Saimum Parvez were also present.
