Bangladesh & Saint Kitts and Nevis establish diplomatic ties

Shamim Ahmad, Washington, D.C.: A Joint Communiqué was formally signed here on Monday establishing diplomatic relationship between Bangladesh and Saint Kitts and Nevis, an island country in the West Indies.

Bangladesh Ambassador to the U.S.A. Mohammad Ziauddin and Saint Kitts and Nevis Ambassador to the U.S.A. Thelma Phillip Browne inked the communiqué on behalf of their respective countries at the Bangladesh embassy in Washington, D.C.
