Dhaka, Cairo relations to remain good

Egypt’s relations with Bangladesh will remain ‘good on all fronts’ and the present Egyptian government is ‘purely a civilian one, not backed by army’, said its Ambassador Mahmoud Ezzat Monday.
 “I assure you, Egypt will have good relations with Bangladesh always, not only at political level, but also economic and between the two peoples,” he told reporters at a press conference at the Egyptian Embassy, according to a news agency.
On visa issue, Ambassador Ezzat said he had heard many complaints about obtaining Egyptian visa and advised all not to take any support from any broker and not to pay any additional fees to anybody.
“It’s very simple to get (Egyptian) visa. Get your visa directly not through any broker. Just come up with your passport and relevant documents,” he added.
Asked whether the government is backed by America, the envoy smiled and said: “This is a very nice question.” He, however, said good relations between USA and Egypt will continue.
The diplomat said the Egyptians are taking preparations for the parliamentary polls for electing a new parliament which would lead Egypt towards economic development and political stability.
