Bangladesh–Panama relations refer to the bilateral relations between Bangladesh and Panama. Both countries enjoy cordial relations with intentions to expand them further.[1] Neither country has a resident ambassador. Both Bangladesh and Panama have expressed deep interest in strengthening the bilateral economic activities between the two countries.[2] In 2011, a Bangladeshi business delegation coordinated by the commerce ministry paid a visit to Panama to explore potential ways for expanding bilateral trade and investment.[3]

History

[edit]

Former foreign secretary of Bangladesh Mohamed Mijarul Quayes paid an official visit to Panama City in 2011.[4]

In 1977, Bangladesh supported Panama in the handover of Panama Canal from United States to Panama through the Torrijos–Carter Treaties.[5]

Because of Panama's vast experience in international shipping services, Bangladesh has sought Panama's assistance in this sector.[6] In 2013, Bangladesh and Panama signed a bilateral agreement through which Bangladeshi seamen were granted job opportunities in Panama's shipping sector.[7]
