The envoy, who resides in New Delhi, handed over a letter of greetings of Finland Prime Minister Sanna Mirella Marin to Bangladesh Premier Sheikh Hasina, marking the 50th anniversary of the two countries diplomatic relations.<\/p>\n

The Bangladesh prime minister also conveyed her greetings to her Finnish counterpart at the function.<\/p>\n

Ritva Koukku-Ronde said the cooperation between Bangladesh and Finnish multinational telecommunications company Nokia can be strengthened further.<\/p>\n

She said her country will work on the Rohingya issue in the United Nations agencies.<\/p>\n

In this context, Sheikh Hasina said Rohingya refugees have become a big burden for the economy of Bangladesh.<\/p>\n

The local people are suffering a lot for the Rohingya people, she said.<\/p>\n

“We don't allow any insurgency on the Myanmar border,” she also said.<\/p>\n

The prime minister also referred to the Chittagong Hill Tract Treaty signed by her government in 1997 through bilateral negotiations and surrender of 1800 armed cadres at that time.<\/p>\n

Mentioning that Bangladesh has set up a good number of hi-tech parks, Sheikh Hasina said the Finnish companies can invest there.<\/p>\n

While talking about the impacts of the Ukraine-Russia war during the meeting, the premier said, “We don't want war. Our policy is friendship to all and malice towards none.”<\/p>\n

She said Bangladesh used to procure fertilizer from abroad, but now the shipping cost has gone up significantly due to the war.<\/p>\n

She added Bangladesh needs support from developed countries for its own development.<\/p>\n

Bangladesh continues agro research for its food security, the premier said, adding that no arable land will remain uncultivated in the country.<\/p>\n
