Recently Bangladesh took a dream to setup a nuclear power plant . But without any materials they can't do this. At this time Russia  comes to give necessary help to set up a nuclear  power plant. recently our prime minister go to Russia and singe for this deal. So it is the first nuclear power plant for Bangladesh. by this they go one step ahead in the world. this plant much wanted and needed for Bangladesh and Bangladeshi people. it also a step for developing Bangladesh. this is the high hope that friendship between Bangladesh and Russia will continue to grow stronger and partnership consolidated further thus bringing benefits, prosperity and progress to both countries and peoples, reports UNB.

"I'm here in Moscow to sow the seed of our common tree of friendship and collaboration with President (Vladimir) Putin, the fruits of which many of you here will savour in the future," she said.
The Prime Minister was addressing the members of the faculty and students of Moscow State University on the topic 'Contemporary Bangladesh Perspective for Collaboration with Russia'. Prof Victor Sadovnichy, Rector of the Moscow State University, was also present.
She said there are a number of areas where Bangladesh and Russia could engage now for mutual benefits. There are again other areas where benefits may not be visible now, but tapping them may allow substantial benefits to flow in the future. Mentioning that her visit to the Russian Federation is the second one by a Bangladesh Prime Minister, Hasina said the purpose is to consolidate the friendship between the two countries and strengthen it with productive cooperation; a potential area being trade.

"In the 70s, our two countries' trade was significant, though mostly under the barter system. Today, the bilateral trade is mere half a billion US dollars with Russia exporting to Bangladesh double the quantity of what we export to Russia."
But, the prospects are huge - especially now with Russia's joining the WTO (World Trade Organisation), she said, adding that it will open the combined market of Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus in the Customs Union of 180 million people to Bangladeshi goods, which will balance the trade.

The Prime Minister said Bangladesh's 160 million people now enjoying increasing purchasing power, trade have the possibility of surpassing all expectations. Even the service sectors will open up at both ends. "To meet the demand, Russia and the Customs Union countries could recruit work force from Bangladesh."
 

Just after the Independence of the country, she mentioned, Bangladesh visited Russia in March 1972 to express the gratitude of Bangladesh to the Russian government and its people.
"After that long 40 years have passed, but no head of government from Bangladesh visited Russia. In 2010, I visited Russia for attending the Tiger Conference held in St Pittsburg," she mentioned.
