The foreign ministry stated that she visited the new Foreign Minister AK Abdul Momen at his office on Sunday for a courtesy call. She mentioned that the UK will maintain its support for Bangladesh to achieve the goal of becoming an Upper Middle Income Country by 2021 and meeting the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. High Commissioner Blake expressed her government's commitment to collaborating on strengthening relations. Momen urged the UK to continue supporting Bangladesh in various aspects if a Brexit deal is approved to separate the UK from the European Union. Both parties agreed to cooperate on trade and investment, good governance, enhancing economic partnership, addressing the Rohingya crisis, managing migration, and tackling climate change. She stated that British investors are very interested in conducting business in various sectors in Bangladesh, with a focus on infrastructure. Blake commended Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's government for its significant contributions to women's empowerment, poverty reduction, and economic and social development. Momen expressed gratitude for the UK's assistance during the Rohingya crisis and urged for more support to facilitate the safe return of displaced individuals to their homes in Rakhine. Blake praised Bangladesh for providing shelter to the largest number of forcibly-displaced Rohingya and reassured that the British government and people will continue to aid in resolving the crisis. The new foreign minister also mentioned the support received from the British people and government during Bangladesh's 1971 Liberation War.
