GOLDEN JUBILEE OF VIET NAM-BANGLADESH DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS

বিশেষ প্রতিনিধিঃ
  • প্রকাশের সময় : শনিবার, ১১ ফেব্রুয়ারি, ২০২৩

50 years ago, on 11 February 1973, the Democratic Republic of Viet Nam and the People’s Republic of Bangladesh officially established diplomatic relations at the ambassadorial level. This milestone ushered in an era of excellent traditional friendship between Viet Nam and Bangladesh, on the basis of historical similarities and shared values of independence, peace, cooperation and development

However, the story of solidarity and companionship between the two friendly countries had even begun ruch earlier Right after Bangladesh gained independence in March 1971, the Democratic Republic of Viet Nam was one of the first nations to recognize the People’s Republic of Bangladesh in the same way, Bangladeshi people and leaders, especially the Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, expressed strong support for the Vietnamese people’s struggle for national freedom, independence and reunification of Viet Nam Therefore, Bangladesh became the first nation in South Asia to recognize and establish ambassadorial-level diplomatic relations with the Provisional Revolutionary Government of the Republic of South Viet Nam

Such a wonderful start laid a solid foundation for the sustained development of Viet Nam Bangladesh friendship and multifaceted cooperation. Over the past 50 years, relations between the two counties have been consolidated and strengthened day by day, especially by exchanges of high-level visits, such as visits to Bangladesh by President Tran Dai Quang in 2018, President Tran Duc Luong in 2004, Prime Minister Vo Van Kiet in 1997, Chairman of the Consultative Council of the Provisional Revolutionary Government of the Republic of South Viet Nam Nguyên Hữu Tho in 1974, and only in the recent 10 years, visits to Viet Nam by President Md. Abdul Hamid in 2015, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in 2012, and Parliament Speaker Shirin Sharmin Chaudhury in 2017. During these visits, a good number of bilateral agreements were signed and cooperation mechanisms were established, which have given significant impulses to further bolster the bilateral cooperation to be more substantive and effective

The two countries have also enjoyed mutual support and dose coordination in different regional and international forums, thus contributing positively to peace, stability, cooperation and development in the region and over the world. for the common interests of the two peoples

Excellent political relations have provided a conducive environment for bilateral cooperation in various fields to prosper and flourish. People-to-people contact has been enhanced through diverse business, cultural exchanges and publicity activities, bringing the two peoples closer and fostering a better understanding of each other.

Trade and economic cooperation between the two dynamic economies have been constantly growing, stronger than ever before, even in the context of

the severe impact caused by the Covid-19 pandemic in recent times Bangladesh has been the second largest trading partner of Viet Nam in South Asia. Remarkably, 2021 was the first time that the two-way trade turnover surpassed 1 billion USD. The trade volume even approached 1.5 billion USD in 2022, recording an impressive 75-fold growth in the last 20 years and a 4-fold increase in the last 10 years (nearly 20 million USD in 2002, 350 million USD in 2012). While Bangladesh’s major export items are pharmaceuticals, ferrous scraps, textiles. Viet Nam primarily exports to Bangladesh garments and textiles, yam, clinker and cement, iron and steel products, mobile phones and components. Although the trade balance is still overwhelmingly in favor of Viet Nam, it is such a positive sign that Bangladesh’s exports to Viet Nam have exceeded 100 milion USD for the first time in 2022 Businesses in both countries are increasingly interested in the other’s market, and proactively engaged in networking information exchange, market research and promotion, in order to take advantage of the two countries large consumption markets

Furthermore, the two countries also agreed to step up bilateral cooperation in areas of agriculture, fisheries and livestock, food security, science and technology, machinery, tourism, etc. The relevant ministries of Viet Nam and Bangladesh are working on another agreement to expand cooperation in the field of information and communication technology to utilize technological and digital innovation for development of smart and modem countries

However, the enormous potentials in bilateral trade and other cooperation have not been fully exploited or even untapped. It is high time for the two peoples in general, and the business communities in particular, to march forward to grasp new opportunities for partnership, business, and investment toward accomplishing the trade target of 2 billion USD set by the two countries’ leaders in 2018. Even in the sectors that the two countries share the world market, there are still scopes for cooperation that both can complement each other and thrive

together in the international arena. After 5 decades of walking alongside each other on the path of national construction, both Viet Nam and Bangladesh have transformed from war ravaged and poverty stricken countries into emerging middle-income nations with high sustained growth and outstanding development successes. The phenomenal achievements in the last 50 years of Viet Nam-Bangladesh diplomatic relations have created a firm basis to elevate the two nations friendship to a new height- a comprehensive partnership in the near future

A new chapter of partnership and cooperation has just opened. Bangladesh and Viet Nam shall continue to further broaden and deepen the bilateral relations and cooperation, to unleash their utmost potentials and strengths for the cause of national development and progress, for the well-being and prosperity of the two friendly peoples. Together, Bangladesh and Viet Nam will keep moving side by side toward realizing their Visions to become upper-middle income countries by 2030 and developed nations in the early 2040s, living up to the dreams of President Ho Chi Minh and Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Joy Viet Nam, Joy Bangle. Long live Viet Nam-Bangladesh friendship.
