The 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Poland and Bangladesh marks an important milestone in our bilateral relationship, he said.
On this occasion, the Polish foreign minister extended his heartfelt congratulations to Foreign Minister Dr Momen and all citizens of Bangladesh who have contributed to the strengthening of cooperation over the past half-century.
Poland was one of the first countries to recognize the independence of Bangladesh.
"I believe that these solid foundations will translate into deeper cooperation in the economic, political, cultural and scientific domains," said Minister Rau.
Despite the fact that the Covid-19 pandemic has disrupted traditional political exchanges, the two countries need to stay together, he said.
"Therefore, Poland expressed its solidarity with the people of Bangladesh by donating over three million doses of Astra Zeneca vaccine.
"This gesture reflects the importance that Poland attaches to the relations with Bangladesh," said the Foreign Minister.
He hoped that in the years ahead, friendship between the two countries will continue to grow, serving the interests of both our countries and peoples.
The Polish foreign minister hoped to have a personal meeting with Dr Momen at a convenient time and conveyed his best wishes for good health and prosperity.
