Head of the EU Delegation to Bangladesh Ambassador Charles Whiteley also attended the meeting.

During the meeting, the State Minister reaffirmed the Bangladesh government's unwavering commitment to implementing the National Action Plan (NAP) on the Labour Sector of Bangladesh (2021-2026) despite facing various challenges.

According to a press release from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, both parties acknowledged the progress made thus far while emphasising the necessity for further advancements to secure the GSP+ facility following the expiration of the EBA (Everything but Arms) facility in 2029.

Additionally, they expressed satisfaction regarding the joint initiation of negotiations on a new Partnership and Cooperation Agreement (PCA), an event marked by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on 25 October in Brussels. This agreement aims to enhance and broaden the multifaceted relationship between Bangladesh and the EU.

The discussions encompassed the Rohingya crisis, climate change, the EU's Global Gateway initiative, and various issues of mutual regional and international interest, reflecting the shared perspectives of both sides,
