"Bangladesh is a country that surpasses Russia in terms of population. This makes a lively information exchange between the two countries a strategic necessity, especially in light of the expansion in trade and economic relations. We will do our best to satisfy our new partner’s needs for news from Russia,” Vasily Pushkov said following the signing.
For his part, Farid Hossain noted, "We are very happy to do this partnership with Sputnik – [a] new generation news organization in Russia. This partnership is adding a new field into [the] already vibrant landscape of our cooperation. Two [media] will benefit from this cooperation."
"This agreement is a timely and welcome initiative. I am convinced that Sputnik with its a versatile content in various platforms catering to the needs of international audience and UNB as a major private wire service in Bangladesh with many global connections will find this new collaboration mutually beneficial and fruitful," Yekaterina Semyonova concluded.
