What happened
Bangladesh and Italy held their third political consultations in Rome and reviewed bilateral cooperation across economic and consular issues.
Dhaka sought Italian support for future Bangladesh–EU trade negotiations and for addressing safeguard thresholds affecting textile exports.

Migration, skills development and the position of Bangladeshi workers in Italy were central parts of the discussion.
The consultations reflected the growing importance of Italy as both a European trade partner and a destination for the Bangladeshi diaspora.
