Romania intends to donate to Bangladesh 200,000 AstraZeneca vaccine doses, the dismissed Minister of Foreign Affairs, Bogdan Aurescu, declared on Friday, during a joint press conference with his counterpart AK Abdul Momen, on a visit in Bucharest, agerpres reports.
It is for the first time when a Minister of Foreign Affairs from Bangladesh is visiting Romania. Since I was appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs, I reopened our embassy in Romania. From various reasons it was closed in 1995 and we recently reopened the diplomatic mission. I hope that in the future Romania will open its diplomatic mission, which had activity from 1973 until 2000, AK Abdul Momen said.
The two signed a memorandum for establishing a consultation mechanism between the Ministries of Foreign Affairs of the two countries.
According to Aurescu, the document will allow a "very good structuring of the cooperation" in several fields, including the dialogue regarding the bilateral management of the work force that comes from Bangladesh.
