Dutch Ambassador Bea ten Tusscher on Sunday called on Foreign Adviser Dr Iftekhar Ahmed Chowdhury and discussed the prospects of widening economic and political relations between the two friendly countries.

"The Netherlands is an important member of the European Union and so Bangladesh places a great significance on cooperation with the Netherlands both bilaterally and as a member of that important regional group," Dr. Iftekhar Chowdhury told the Ambassador at the Foreign Ministry.

The Foreign Adviser invited Dutch investments into Bangladesh and hoped that trade and commercial relations between Bangladesh and the Netherlands would grow further.

They discussed a possible visit by the Foreign Adviser to the Netherlands in September to hold discussions with the Dutch authorities.

The Dutch Ambassador stated that this would help underscore the deepening ties with the two countries.
