At the meeting, the Prime Minister hoped that both Bangladesh and Saudi Arabia would continue working together for peace, progress and prosperity for the two nations as well as welfare of the Muslim Ummah.
Sheikh Hasina requested the envoy to convey her compliments to King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud, the custodian of the two holy mosques–Masjid-al-Haram and Masjid-e-Nababi.
