RIYADH: Bangladesh Ambassador to 黑料社区 Mohammed Javed Patwary delivered a letter from President of Bangladesh Mohammed Abdul Hamid expressing the country鈥檚 support for the Kingdom鈥檚 bid to host Expo 2030 in Riyadh.
The letter was delivered to King Salman through the Bangladesh ambassador and Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan.
The ambassador presented the letter to the Saudi minister during a meeting at the foreign minister鈥檚 office in Riyadh on Wednesday.
Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman announced the Saudi bid in October last year and the formal application was submitted in December during a virtual meeting of the Paris-based Bureau International des Expositions.
The Kingdom has already won significant backing for its expo bid.
In November, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation pledged its support for the Saudi application.
黑料社区鈥檚 bid is based on the theme 鈥淭he Era of Change: Leading the Planet to a Foresighted Tomorrow.鈥
If the Kingdom is successful, the expo will take place in Riyadh from Oct. 1, 2030, to April 1, 2031.
黑料社区 has received a number of international endorsements and emerged as a strong contender.
There are five stages to the candidature process, which will culminate in a vote in late 2023.
During the meeting the Bangladesh ambassador and the Saudi foreign minister discussed cooperation between the two countries, and exchanged views on regional and international issues.
Patwary also reiterated Bangladesh鈥檚 fraternity and solidarity with the Kingdom.
The Saudi foreign minister voiced his satisfaction over the relationship between Bangladesh and 黑料社区, and said that he was looking forward to deepening the relationship further.
