Bangladesh and Singapore have enjoyed friendly bilateral relations for over four decades since the establishment of diplomatic ties in February 1972.
Even so, the recent visit of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to Singapore held the possibility of elevating the bond of friendship and amity between the two nations to a higher plane. And in this, it surely delivered, by setting the stage for increased cooperation in a variety of areas, like public-private partnership, air connectivity, trade, investment and energy.
On March 12, Bangladesh and Singapore signed two Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) for collaboration over Public Private Partnership (PPP) and air services.
The instruments were signed following an official meeting between the prime ministers of the two countries at Istana, the official residence and office of the President of Singapore, and also the working office of the Prime Minister of Singapore. Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong witnessed the signing ceremony.
The two MoUs are one on Public Private Partnership signed between International Enterprise Singapore and the Public Private Partnership Authority of the Prime Minister’s Office of Bangladesh and another Confidential MoU to expand air services between the two nations.
On March 13, the trade bodies and government agencies of Bangladesh and Singapore signed four Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) for collaboration over ICT, trade and investment.
The signing ceremony was held at the opening programme of the Bangladesh-Singapore Business Forum 2018, which was jointly organised by International Enterprise Singapore, Singapore Business Federation and Bangladesh Business Chamber of Singapore (BDCham) at the Shangri-La Hotel in Singapore.

Rohingya: Walk A Mile In Their Shoes
My reminiscences of Cox’s Bazar are deeply rooted in my childhood during family vacations taken with my parents and three siblings - horse rides on the beach, sunsets against the widest horizon, charcoal barbecues by nightfall, and copious amounts of seafood throughout our stays. My recent trip to Cox’s Bazar, some 20 odd years later, however, was starkly contrasting in that the circumstance was dire, one which continues to sit steep in my mind.
