Bangladesh has established formal diplomatic ties with Kosovo through signing a Joint Communiqué on Friday.
Permanent Representative of Bangladesh to the United Nations Masud Bin Momen and Consul General of Kosovo Teuta Sahatqija signed the document on behalf of their respective sides in New York.
"The document signed between Bangladesh and Kosovo would promote the ties of friendship between the two countries," according to a message received in Dhaka on Saturday.
The two countries also aim to widen the horizons of mutual cooperation and support the cause of international peace and security, the statement said.
It reaffirmed the commitment of both governments to the principles of the UN and international law including mutual respect for national sovereignty, territorial integrity and non-interference in the internal affairs of another state.
According to BSS, Bangladesh officially recognised Kosovo in February last year.
