“Since Bangladesh is a big country of the Global South, BRICS will also benefit if Bangladesh joins the group,” according to the diplomat.
He also said Bangladesh mulls being part of the Mecca defense pact, adding that “since it is an alliance of Muslim countries, probably the Bangladeshi government might consider it positively because we have very good bilateral relations with all these nations.”
