He particularly highlighted the successful convening of the 5th round of senior officials' talks and the joint working group meeting under the Trade and Investment Framework Agreement (TIFA), as well as the recent visit of the Australian home minister, which significantly contributed to further consolidating the ties between the two countries.

The foreign secretary underscored the importance of holding regular dialogues under the agreed bilateral frameworks.

Simpson reaffirmed Australia's commitment to its robust partnership with Bangladesh, emphasising the high importance the Australian government attaches to this relationship. 

She expressed her appreciation for Bangladesh's steadfast commitment and actions in combating human trafficking and assured her continued efforts at Headquarters to address visa and consular issues upon her return. 

The discussions also covered areas of collaboration, including education, skills development, and the Rohingya crisis, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The foreign secretary congratulated Simpson on the successful completion of her tenure in Bangladesh and extended his best wishes for her future endeavors.
