一个目标是扩大与日本的经济合作，并减少中国对这个南亚国家的影响。中国是孟加拉国最大的进口来源国。自2024年谢赫·哈西娜辞去首相职务以来，孟加拉国一直在寻求在基础设施建设等领域开展合作。

Bangladesh has been seeking collaboration in infrastructure development and elsewhere since Sheikh Hasina's resignation as prime minister in 2024.

日本去年2月与孟加拉国签署了经济伙伴关系协定。这个南亚国家劳动力成本相对较低，制造业环境良好。孟加拉国人口约1.7亿，是世界第八大人口国，也是拥有大量年轻人的主要消费国。
Japan signed an economic partnership agreement with Bangladesh in February. The South Asian country has relatively low labor costs and a favorable environment for manufacturing. At roughly 170 million people, the world's eighth-largest population, Bangladesh is also a major consumer nation with a large cohort of young people.
2024年的学生骚乱导致哈西娜逃往印度。尽管随后出现了一段政治不稳定时期，但拉赫曼在今年2月的大选后成为首相。日本一直通过政府开发援助支持孟加拉国。除了发展援助，日本还将展示积极投资该国的意愿。
The student rioting of 2024 led Hasina to flee to India. Although a period of political instability followed, Rahman became prime minister after this February's general election Japan has been supporting Bangladesh via official development assistance. In addition to aid for development, Japan will demonstrate a willingness to actively invest in the country.
