Bangladesh wants to get Argentine football team to play a match in Dhaka for the centennial birth anniversary of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman in 2021.
The government will celebrate the 100th birth anniversary of the Father of the Nation as Mujib Barsha or Mujib Year through yearlong programmes beginning on Mar 17 in 2020.
State Minister for Foreign Affairs Md Shahriar Alam expressed the government’s willingness when the new non-resident Argentine Ambassador for Dhaka Daniel Chuburu called on him on Thursday, the foreign ministry said.
Bangladesh is looking forward to receiving Argentine football team in Dhaka in 2021, Shahriar said.
The Argentine ambassador presented his credentials to President Md Abdul Hamid on Wednesday.
The Argentina football team came to Dhaka in 2011 to play a friendly game against Nigeria. Argentina and Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi also came to Dhaka with the team.

The foreign ministry said during the meeting, the state minister expressed keen interest to sign Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with South American trade bloc MERCOSUR to tap the under-exploited South American market.
Bangladesh has already submitted “Letter of Intent” to that effect to secure greater access for its products to a huge market of 300 million consumers across Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay.
Ambassador Chuburu promised full cooperation as Argentina is the current president of this trade bloc.
He emphasised the need to promote bilateral trade.
Chuburu proposed a regional workshop or seminar on agriculture and agro-business in Dhaka sometime soon to promote better cooperation and share Argentine skills and expertise in the agricultural sector.
The state minister recalled Argentine writer and critic Victoria Ocampo’s commendable role in support of Bangladesh’s war of independence that led and inspired the intelligentsia in Argentina and beyond to protest against the atrocities inflicted on Bangalees by Pakistan military and their local collaborators.
He also sought Argentina’s support for Bangladesh’s candidature for the post of deputy director general of IOM.
