Saudi Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz has accepted the invitation to visit Bangladesh at a convenient time in 2023.  

This would be a landmark event in the history of bilateral relations between Bangladesh and Saudi Arabia in terms of the consolidation of ties specially in trade and commerce, investment and economic cooperation.
 
Saudi Ambassador to Bangladesh Essa Yussef Essa Al Duhailan revealed this, while paying a courtesy call on with the Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina at the latter’s official residence Ganabhaban today (Nov 19). 
 
Prime Minister’s Deputy Press Secretary Hasan Jahid Tusher briefed reporters after the meeting.
 
In the meeting, the Saudi envoy handed over an acceptance letter from the Crown Prince and Prime Minister of Saudi Arabia to the Prime Minister as the Crown Prince has given consent to the proposed visit to Bangladesh in response to the invitation made by the Bangladesh Prime Minister on 30 August this year.
 
The envoy stated that  it would be the first ever visit of any Saudi Crown Prince to Bangladesh after 1985 when the then Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah bin Abdulaziz visited Dhaka.“So, this visit will be very significant for both the countries and the date and schedule of the visit will be fixed through diplomatic channels,” Essa Yussef was quoted as saying.
 
Now the foreign ministries of both the countries will remain seized in working out the modalities of the visit.
 
A good number of bilateral instruments -- MoUs and agreements—will be signed during the visit of the Saudi Crown Prince, which would strengthen the bilateral ties between the two countries significantly, the envoy hoped.
