Welcome Message from the High Commissioner


I have the pleasure to welcome all potential users to the updated website of the Bangladesh High Commission, London. The site is designed to act as a window for basic information on Bangladesh and the services offered by the High Commission primarily focusing on the consular information and basic facts and figures of the country, society and economy.

Bangladesh has made commendable socio-economic development despite its known constraints of a huge population in a small territory and its vulnerability to natural calamities. Our development partners view that Bangladesh has undergone a silent revolution in terms of transformation of its people and society moving into a higher trajectory of economic growth and social development. It’s success in addressing poverty and empowerment of the poor, particularly women, spectacular growth of its RMG and textile sector, integrated communication networks of roads and mobile telephony in the rural Bangladesh, have all contributed to the process of transformation.

Bangladesh – Britain bilateral relations have also made a big leap forward beyond the orbit of historical links and burgeoned into a strong trade and investment partnership. The presence of a huge Bangladeshi diaspora in UK has enriched our growing ties. Britain is today the largest foreign investor and the third largest export destination for Bangladeshi products. Bilateral economic indicators between the two countries are growing at an exponential rate.

As you browse through the website, you can discover Bangladesh, its peoples and culture; its achievements and potentials. It will also lead you to a host of useful public and private sector links with focus on trade and investment opportunities, on news and media, tours and travels etc. which, we hope, will facilitate the growing nexus of the people and institutions of our two countries.

While welcoming all potential users to glance through the site, we also welcome any suggestion for its improvement to make the site user-friendly, attractive and more informative.
