The Ambassador of Saudi Arabia in Dhaka gave a special message in the ‘Special January, 2026 Edition’ of the “Business in Bangladesh Newsletter” on the occasion of the English New Year
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the People’s Republic of Bangladesh share long standing and steadily evolving bilateral relations, rooted in mutual respect, shared values, and constructive cooperation across multiple sectors. For instense, Trade and commerce remain central pillars of the Saudi–Bangladesh partnership. Saudi Arabia is one of Bangladesh’s key economic partners, particularly in the areas of energy, infrastructure development, and investment. The growing volume of bilateral trade reflects strong market complementarities and expanding opportunities for private-sector engagement in both countries.
Moreover, Bangladesh’s dynamic manufacturing base and skilled workforce, combined with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 economic transformation agenda, offer significant scope for enhanced cooperation in investment, industrial collaboration, logistics, and technology driven sectors. Joint ventures and increased institutional coordination can further deepen economic integration and contribute to sustainable growth and economic diversification.
People-to-people ties also play a vital role in strengthening bilateral relations. The Bangladeshi workforce in Saudi Arabia has made valuable contributions to the Kingdom’s development, while remittance flows continue to support economic stability and social development in Bangladesh. Ongoing cooperation in labor, training, and skills development remains essential to ensuring mutual benefit and long-term sustainability. In addition, cooperation in emerging sectors such as renewable energy, digital services, agriculture, healthcare, and education presents new avenues for collaboration. Strengthening institutional frameworks, improving trade facilitation, and encouraging business-to-business dialogue will further enhance bilateral economic engagement.
Looking ahead, both countries share a common interest in further diversifying trade, facilitating investment, and strengthening mechanisms for economic cooperation. Continued dialogue and partnership will help unlock new opportunities, reinforce economic resilience, and advance shared objectives for inclusive growth, prosperity, and regional stability. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia remains firmly committed to strengthening its comprehensive and forward-looking partnership with Bangladesh in the years ahead.
