The MoU was signed on the sidelines of the high-level week of the 81st United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York on Friday (September 25, 2026). State Minister for Foreign Affairs Humayun Kabir signed on behalf of Bangladesh, while Minister for Foreign Affairs S.M. Sobers MP signed on behalf of Trinidad & Tobago. State Minister Kabir emphasized Bangladesh's intent to deepen ties within multilateral forums such as the Commonwealth, UN, and G-77. He highlighted potential energy cooperation—requesting technical discussions with Trinidadian state entities like the National Gas Company and Atlantic LNG—and congratulated Trinidad & Tobago on its election as a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council for the 2027–2028 term. Additionally, Bangladesh sought Trinidad's constructive support at the UN Security Council for the safe repatriation of over 1.2 million Rohingya refugees, while proposing exchange programs in cricket, sports science, and youth development.
