“I must say that today is a historic day for Sputnik – despite the fact that the agency has been working with different media outlets in Bangladesh for a long time, The Daily Messenger has become the first official partner of our agency,” Pushkov said following the signing of the agreement.
“Bangladesh and Russia have had very close and friendly relations since the birth of Bangladesh," said Haq Monet. "We have signed this MoU to establish this good relationship and further development at a very high level. This MoU is a good opportunity to exchange news and news-related content with Sputnik News Agency and to communicate with the Russian people. Russia and Bangladesh have good relations in bilateral matters and they use this cooperation for the benefit of the two countries."
