Swedish PM phones Hasina
Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Löfven yesterday sought Bangladesh's support for the Swedish candidature in the election to non-permanent membership of the UN Security Council for 2017-18.
"The Swedish premier made the request when he talked to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina over the phone this [yesterday] evening," PM's Press Secretary Ihsanul Karim told BSS.
The press secretary said during about 10-minute telephonic conversation, both the prime ministers exchanged greetings.
The Swedish PM invited his Bangladeshi counterpart to visit Sweden. Hasina also extended an invitation to Löfven to visit Bangladesh.
Hasina invited the Swedish prime minister to the Dhaka Global Forum for Migration and Development to be held on December 9.
The press secretary said both the prime ministers agreed to co-chair a UN high-level summit on Addressing the Large Movement of Refugees and Migrant slated for September 19 next at the United Nations in New York.
