Bangladesh’s State Minister for Foreign Affairs, M Shahriar Alam, will receive and welcome the princess at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport on her arrival in the afternoon. During her four-day visit, the princess is scheduled to call on Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and Foreign Minister AH Mahmood Ali and exchange views with Agriculture Minister Matia Chowdhury and Culture Minister Asaduzzaman Noor MP and other dignitaries. Bangladesh’s Ambassador to Thailand, Saida Muna Tasneem, said the presence of the globally acclaimed philanthropist princess, affectionately called the “Angel Princess” in Thailand, in response to the invitation of Bangladesh's Foreign Minister, was the “highest-profile visit” from Thailand in recent years. Ambassador Muna thanked Princess Sirindhorn for earlier praising Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s extraordinary successes in improving girls’ education, developing the country’s self-sufficiency in food and her efforts to address climate change. A dinner hosted by Foreign Minister Ali has also been arranged in her honour.
