DHAKA, Dec 7, 2025 (BSS) - Non-resident ambassador of Azerbaijan to Bangladesh, Elchin Huseynli today said that efforts are underway to open an Azerbaijani embassy here after the upcoming general election in Bangladesh.
The envoy made the remarks at a meeting today when Leyla Aliyeva and Arzu Aliyeva, daughters of Azerbaijan President Ilham Aliyev, paid a call on Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus at the State Guest House Jamuna here.
The Chief Adviser's Press Wing said that the move followed the Chief Adviser's request to President Aliyev last November, noting that an embassy in Dhaka would elevate bilateral relations to new heights.
During the meeting, Prof Yunus and the daughters of the Azerbaijan President discussed ways to deepen cultural, environmental, and people-to-people exchanges between the two friendly nations.
The Chief Adviser recalled his many visits to Baku and his meeting with President Aliyev during the COP29 summit late last year.
He emphasized the need for stronger trade, energy, and economic ties between Bangladesh and Azerbaijan.
Leyla Aliyeva, Vice President of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation and founder and head of IDEA Public Union, conveyed President Aliyev's warmest greetings to the Chief Adviser.
She called for enhanced environmental cooperation, particularly in wildlife protection.
This marked the first visit to Bangladesh by the daughters of the Azerbaijani President.
The meeting was informed that Leyla Aliyeva and Arzu Aliyeva had visited a local institution in Dhaka that supports orphans and children without parental care.
The duo sisters also stated that the Heydar Aliyev Foundation and the IDEA Public Union are eager to implement joint humanitarian, social, youth, volunteer, environmental, and nature-protection projects in collaboration with relevant Bangladeshi organizations.
Lamiya Morshed, SDG Coordinator and Senior Secretary, was also present at the meeting.
