French President Emmanuel Macron will arrive in Dhaka on Sunday on a bilateral visit at the invitation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

During the visit, President Macron will pay homage to the Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman at the Bangabandhu Memorial Museum at Dhanmondi 32, according to the foreign affairs ministry.

He is scheduled to hold a summit meeting with Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina at the PMO and join a banquet to be hosted by her in honour of the French president.

The two leaders are expected to witness the signing of a couple of bilateral instruments and hold a joint press briefing.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is expected to receive the French President at the Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport. Foreign Minister Dr A K Abdul Momen will see him off.

The French president will be accompanied by, among others, Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs Catherine Colonna.

The governments of Bangladesh and France sincerely hope that the visit of the French president to Bangladesh will further elevate the friendly relations between the two countries to a new height.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina visited France in November 2021 at the invitation of French President Emmanuel Macron.
