The foreign ministry stated that she had a courtesy meeting with the new Foreign Minister AK Abdul Momen at his office on Sunday. She mentioned that the UK will maintain its assistance in helping Bangladesh achieve its goal of becoming an Upper Middle Income Country by 2021 and reaching the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. High Commissioner Blake reaffirmed her government's commitment to collaborating in order to strengthen their relationship. Momen urged the UK to continue supporting Bangladesh in various areas even if a Brexit deal is finalized. Both parties agreed to cooperate on trade and investment, improving governance, enhancing economic partnerships, addressing the Rohingya crisis, managing migration, and combating climate change. British investors are very eager to engage in a variety of sectors in Bangladesh, with a particular interest in infrastructure, according to a statement. The speaker praised Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's government for its significant contributions to women's empowerment, poverty reduction, and economic and social development. In response, the UK was thanked for its assistance in the Rohingya crisis and encouraged to continue aiding the safe return of those displaced by violence in Rakhine to Myanmar. Bangladesh was commended for hosting the largest number of forcibly-displaced Rohingya and was assured of continued support from the British government and people in resolving the crisis. The new foreign minister also acknowledged the support provided by the British people and government during Bangladesh's 1971 Liberation War.
