In response, the NCP delegation expressed deep gratitude to Türkiye for its steadfast diplomatic support and continued engagement in resolving the Rohingya crisis.
The two leaders discussed a wide range of bilateral and strategic issues, focusing on expanding defense cooperation, boosting bilateral trade, and strengthening overall diplomatic ties.
The NCP leaders also emphasised the high importance of creating robust exchange programs to foster greater collaboration between the youth of Bangladesh and Türkiye.
Other prominent members of the attending NCP delegation included Member Secretary Akhter Hossen, Chief Coordinator Nasiruddin Patwary, Joint Convener Atiq Mujahid, International Affairs In-Charge Alauddin Mohammad, and Joint Member Secretaries Humaira Noor and Rafe Salman Rifat.
