At the meeting, various issues of mutual interest were discussed, including the safe and dignified repatriation of Rohingyas, cooperation in Bangladesh's adaptation efforts to tackle the impacts of climate change, migration, and strengthening economic relations between the two countries.

At the meeting, Prime Minister Tareque Rahman sought a more active diplomatic role by the UK to ensure the safe, voluntary and dignified repatriation of Rohingyas sheltered in Bangladesh to their home country Myanmar. He also emphasized strengthening diplomatic efforts at the international level for a sustainable solution to this crisis.

The Prime Minister noted that Bangladesh is a highly densely populated country. Sheltering a huge number of Rohingyas for nearly the past decade has created significant pressure on the country's economy, society, culture and environment. Its impact may also affect livelihood opportunities of the local population and create risks for regional security.

The meeting also discussed further strengthening the existing bilateral relations between Bangladesh and the UK. At the time, emphasis was placed on climate cooperation, tackling humanitarian crises, migration and expanding economic partnership.
