The Russian foreign minister arrived in the capital of Bangladesh on his first visit on September 7.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov held talks with Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

After the talks, Lavrov visited the house-museum of founder of Bangladesh Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, laying a wreath at his mosaic portrait.
Earlier, Lavrov and Bangladeshi Foreign Minister Abul Kalam Abdul Momen discussed the development of bilateral trade, the implementation of the Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) project, which Moscow calls a flagship project in bilateral relations, as well as humanitarian issues.

"The Rooppur NPP project in Bangladesh with Russian participation is proceeding according to schedule; delivery and loading of the first batch of nuclear fuel is expected in October," Lavrov said after the talks.

Moscow and Dhaka are also discussing practical aspects of establishing regular large-scale supplies of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and oil to Bangladesh.

"There are good prospects for traditionally good relations in the gas sector. Gazprom International has participated in drilling more than 20 wells and is ready to continue this work. The relevant agencies are discussing practical aspects of establishing regular large-scale supplies of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and oil to Bangladesh," Lavrov stated at a joint press conference with Bangladeshi Foreign Minister Abdul Momen.
