Tuesday, 10 June 2014
Egyptian Ambassador in Bangladesh Mahmoud Ezzat said Monday the relation between the two countries will remain 'good on all fronts', reports UNB.
"I assure you, Egypt will have good relations with Bangladesh always, not only at political level, but also at economic level," the envoy made the comments while speaking to the journalists at a press conference at the Egyptian Embassy in the city Monday.
Replying to a question, the envoy said the January 5 elections in Bangladesh were 'free' and 'transparent' in which Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has won. "Yes, may be Begum Khaleda (Khaleda Zia) boycotted the elections. It was up to her of course."
On visa issue, Ambassador Ezzat said he had heard many complaints about obtaining Egyptian visa and advised all not to take any help from brokers and not to pay any additional fees to anybody.
