“The partnership with the European Union reached a new height because of the visit,” she told a press conference on the outcome of her October 24-26 visit to Belgium at her official residence Ganabhaban.

The premier said that her participation in the GGF opened new doors for Bangladesh’s renewable energy, connectivity, education and research, digital infrastructure and production of medical equipment.

“By this tour, I hope that bilateral relations with Belgium and Luxembourg will deepen further and scope for cooperation would widen,” she said.

PM returned home on Friday morning after wrapping up her three-day official visit to Belgium.
