The government has decided to open a commercial air route between Saidpur in Bangladesh and Virat Nagar in Nepal, foreign minister AK Abdul Momen said on Tuesday.
The government has also decided to assess the technical feasibility of using riverine routes by Nepal for exporting its goods through Chattogram, Mongla and Payra seaports in Bangladesh, he said at a press conference on the visit of Nepalese president Bidya Devi Bhandari to Bangladesh.
The governments of Bangladesh and Nepal are at the final stage of signing a preferential trade agreement for facilitating trade between the two countries, Momen said.
‘I hope it would be signed soon,’ he said.
