孟加拉国总理塔里克·拉赫曼周三称，与日本首相的会晤是加强两国战略伙伴关系的重要向前一步。拉赫曼目前正在日本进行为期四天的访问。
Bangladeshi Prime Minister Tarique Rahman on Wednesday called a meeting with his Japanese counterpart an important step forward in strengthening the strategic partnership between the two nations. Rahman is currently on a four-day visit to Japan.
他在美国社交媒体平台上表示：“今天，我与高市早苗首相举行了一场富有成效的首脑会晤，我们在会上重申了对民主、法治、经济发展以及一个和平、稳定、繁荣的印度洋-太平洋地区的共同承诺。”他补充说：“我们首脑会晤的一个重要成果，是我们共同承诺将孟加拉湾产业增长带（BIG-B）倡议推进为一个共享繁荣的新框架。”
"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," he said on US social media platform "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," he added.
孟加拉湾产业增长带倡议将重点发展能源、深水港、工业基础设施、技术和区域连通性，从而巩固孟加拉国作为南亚与东南亚之间桥梁的地位。
The BIG-B initiative will focus on developing energy, deep-sea ports, industrial infrastructure, technology, and regional connectivity, strengthening Bangladesh’s position as a bridge between South and Southeast Asia.
他还提议建立一个孟加拉国-日本科技园，以推进在人工智能和先进技术方面的合作。
He also proposed establishing a Bangladesh-Japan Tech Park to advance cooperation in artificial intelligence and advanced technologies.
他还讨论了空间科学和卫星工程方面的合作，以及日本对高铁互联互通的技术和财政支持。
He also discussed cooperation in space science and satellite engineering as well as Japanese technical and financial support for high-speed rail connectivity.
拉赫曼还感谢日本对罗兴亚人口持续提供的为人道主义援助，并呼吁日本保持参与，以确保他们自愿、安全、有尊严且可持续地返回缅甸。
Rahman also thanked Japan for continued humanitarian assistance to the Rohingya population and called for its sustained engagement in securing their voluntary, safe, dignified and sustainable return to Myanmar.
孟加拉国在其东南部沿海接待了约120万罗兴亚人，其中大多数人在2017年8月缅甸军方镇压时逃离。
Bangladesh is hosting about 1.2 million Rohingya on its southeastern coast, with most of them fleeing Myanmar military crackdown in August 2017.
日本是孟加拉国最大的双边发展伙伴和主要的出口目的地，两国间的贸易额约为40亿美元。
Japan is Bangladesh’s largest bilateral development partner and a major export destination, with trade between the countries totaling around $4 billion.
拉赫曼于今年2月宣誓就任孟加拉国总理。此前，他的政党在该国自2024年学生领导的起义推翻前总理谢赫·哈西娜以来的首次大选中获胜。
Rahman was sworn in as Bangladesh’s prime minister in February, following his party's victory in the country’s first general election since the 2024 student-led uprising that toppled former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
