The relations between Bangladesh and the Maldives have never seen any vicissitude since the inception. Both the countries have stood together in difficult times and supported each other in international forums. Gradually, the cooperation between the two countries has deepened and their relations are heading towards a new era.
Since the beginning of the Bangladesh-Maldives diplomatic relationship in 1978, both the countries have been sharing warm and friendly ties. These relations are based on goodwill, understanding and reciprocal cooperation.
