Delivering his address on the closing day of the three-day "Bay of Bengal Conversation 2026"—organized by the Centre for Governance Studies (CGS) at a Dhaka hotel on Monday (October 5, 2026)—High Commissioner Singh highlighted that bilateral trade between the two nations has expanded by over 25 percent, surpassing 4 billion Canadian dollars. He noted the recent government-to-government renewal of the Canadian potash fertilizer supply agreement, which has delivered over 3.5 million tonnes of potash to Bangladesh since 2014 to ensure national food security. Emphasizing a shift from traditional donor-recipient dynamics to joint economic prosperity, Singh identified vast opportunities for expanded cooperation across agriculture, aerospace, clean energy, climate action, digital technology, and judicial and economic reforms. Furthermore, addressing geopolitical dynamics, High Commissioner Singh asserted that a multipolar world need not imply conflict, advocating for pragmatic, overlapping issue-based networks among middle powers like Canada and Bangladesh to protect state sovereignty, enforce international law, and strengthen multilateral institutions.
