The foreign ministry stated that she visited the new Foreign Minister AK Abdul Momen at his office for a courtesy call on Sunday. She expressed the UK's commitment to supporting Bangladesh in achieving its goal of becoming an Upper Middle Income Country by 2021 and meeting the SDGs by 2030. High Commissioner Blake reaffirmed her government's readiness to collaborate in strengthening bilateral relations. Momen urged the UK to continue its overall support for Bangladesh in the event of a Brexit deal separating the UK from the EU. Both parties agreed to collaborate on trade and investment, good governance, enhancing economic partnership, addressing the Rohingya crisis, migration issues, and combating climate change. The British investors are eager to engage in various sectors in Bangladesh, with a particular focus on infrastructure, according to a statement. The speaker commended Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's government for its significant contributions to women empowerment, poverty reduction, and overall economic and social development. The UK was appreciated for its assistance in the Rohingya crisis, but there was a call for further support to ensure the safe return of those displaced by violence in Rakhine to their homes in Myanmar. Bangladesh was praised for hosting the largest number of Rohingya refugees and assured of continued support from the British government and people in resolving the crisis. The new foreign minister also mentioned the support extended by the British people and government during Bangladesh's 1971 Liberation War.
