Foreign adviser, Afghan deputy minister discuss bilateral matters
Foreign Adviser Iftekhar Ahmed Chowdhury held a meeting with Afghan Deputy Minister for Woman Affairs Sayeda Mughan Mustafawi at his office yesterday and discussed bilateral matters.
The foreign adviser expressed his appreciation of the fact that Afghanistan is now a full-fledged member of Saarc, which Bangladesh "welcomes most wholeheartedly".
"Gender mainstreaming is a subject in which Bangladesh is eager to share experience with Afghanistan," he said during the meeting.
The foreign adviser also thanked the Afghan government through the deputy minister for the cooperation extended by them in obtaining the release of Bangladeshi Noor Islam, a Brac official, who was abducted by militants in Afghanistan earlier this year.
The meeting was also attended by Ambassador Ahmed Karim Nawabi of Afghanistan.
