Momen to hold talk with Lavrov in Dhaka on Sept 7

Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen would hold a bilateral talk with his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov in Dhaka on September 7.

"We have many bilateral issues to discuss. We have the Rohingya issue too," he told reporters at the Foreign Service Academy in Dhaka.

The Russian Foreign Minister will arrive in Dhaka on September 7 and after visiting Bangladesh will attend the G20 Summit in New Delhi on September 9-10.
