Dhaka: Bangladesh has urged Turkish government to ‘give a push’ to enhance the bilateral trade and investment between the two countries as it sees huge potentials for that on all fronts.

‘There’s enormous potential to expand our bilateral cooperation further,’ Foreign Minister AH Mahmood Ali said on Thursday.

He made the remarks when Turkish Ambassador to Bangladesh Devrim Ozturk met him at his office at the Foreign Ministry.

During the meeting, they discussed various issues of bilateral relations as well as different regional and international issues of mutual interest.
