My historic visit to Japan marks an important step forward in strengthening the longstanding friendship and strategic partnership between Bangladesh and Japan.

Bangladesh and Japan share a longstanding friendship built on mutual respect and trust. My father, Shaheed President Ziaur Rahman, helped lay the foundations of this relationship. My late mother, Prime Minister Begum Khaleda Zia, built on that foundation and further strengthened our ties through her visits and engagement with Japan.

Today, I had a highly productive summit meeting with Prime Minister @takaichi_sanae, where we reaffirmed our shared commitment to democracy, the rule of law, economic development, and a peaceful, stable and prosperous Indo-Pacific.

Our discussions focused on translating this partnership into tangible opportunities for the people of Bangladesh.

We explored emergency financial assistance of JPY 50 billion (approximately USD 320 million) under Japan’s Partnership for Power Asia initiative to strengthen Bangladesh’s energy security.

We also held encouraging discussions on the potential for up to JPY 1 trillion (approximately USD 6.3 billion) in Japanese private-sector investment over the next five years, with the prospect of creating around 200,000 jobs in Bangladesh. These investments could accelerate industrialisation, expand manufacturing capacity, and create new opportunities for our young workforce.

I proposed establishing a Bangladesh–Japan Tech Park to advance cooperation in artificial intelligence, cloud computing, robotics, electronics manufacturing, and advanced technologies. We also discussed cooperation in space science and satellite engineering, alongside Japanese technical and financial support for high-speed rail connectivity linking six major divisional cities and the development of modern transport infrastructure.

A significant outcome of our summit was our shared commitment to advance the Bay of Bengal Industrial Growth Belt (BIG-B) initiative into a new framework for shared prosperity. This renewed cooperation will focus on integrated development of energy, deep-sea ports, industrial infrastructure, technology, and regional connectivity, strengthening Bangladesh’s position as a bridge between South and Southeast Asia.

We also discussed the early implementation of the Bangladesh–Japan Economic Partnership Agreement, stronger institutional cooperation, and the proposed establishment of a ministerial-level joint commission to translate our shared priorities into concrete results.

I expressed Bangladesh’s appreciation for Japan’s continued humanitarian assistance to the Rohingya population and called for its sustained engagement in securing their voluntary, safe, dignified and sustainable return to Myanmar.

Japan was among the first countries to recognise Bangladesh’s independence and has remained a trusted development partner throughout our journey. I conveyed the sincere gratitude of the people of Bangladesh for Japan’s friendship, generosity, and longstanding support.

As Bangladesh moves forward following democratic elections, my government is determined to build an economy driven by investment, innovation, infrastructure development, and meaningful employment opportunities.

On behalf of the people and the Government of Bangladesh, I thank Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, the Government of Japan, and the Japanese people for their warm hospitality and continued confidence in Bangladesh.

Let's deepen the multifaceted ties between Bangladesh and Japan for a stronger, much better, and more prosperous future together.

As the three-day national mourning period for Begum Khaleda Zia comes to a close, our family has been deeply moved by the continued outpouring of condolences and prayers from across the country and from friends abroad. These three days have shown us the many ways in which my mother meant something different to different people, often in ways we may not have fully known or seen.

To many she came to symbolise the courage to stand up for what one truly believes in and remain steadfast in conviction, despite the hardship. That lesson resonates far beyond politics, touching people wherever they are and whoever they may be.

We are eternally thankful to the interim government, and to Professor Muhammad Yunus and his Cabinet, whose leadership and swift coordination made it possible to arrange such an honourific farewell in such a short time.

To the international community, our neighbours, friends, diplomats, and partners around the world, you have warmed our hearts with your compassion and solidarity. The presence of dignitaries at the funeral, the letters and messages of condolence, the words written in condolence books, the countless expressions shared through social media, and official statements by leaders, local missions in Bangladesh, and organisations across the country has been incredible to see.

Once again, we are deeply grateful to all the servicemen and women involved, across the armed forces and law-enforcement agencies, across coordinating administrations and ministries. My family and I were truly touched by your sense of duty and care during my mother’s final farewell.

We remain grateful to all who helped ensure these days of mourning were conducted with dignity and care. I wish to offer special thanks to the President Guard Regiment, whose solemn guard of honour and final salute paid the highest tribute to my mother’s life and service. By escorting Begum Khaleda Zia with such respect to her final resting place, you embodied the nation’s reverence and ensured that her last journey was marked with the honour it deserved.

I am also mindful that many others, whose names or roles may not have been mentioned, contributed in countless ways to ensuring the day unfolded seamlessly. To all who served behind the scenes or beyond public view, please accept my heartfelt thanks. Your efforts made it possible, Alhamdulillah, for our family and for the nation to honour her memory with dignity.

And finally, to the people of Bangladesh. To see so many of you, from every corner of the nation, gather in reverence for my mother was something our family could never have anticipated. It was a powerful and unifying moment that reflected the compassion and shared humanity of our people.

On behalf of our family and the Bangladesh Nationalist Party, we thank everyone who stood with us in grief and remembrance. Your kindness and solidarity have been a source of comfort and strength, and we carry them forward with gratitude.
