Given the close cultural linkages and people-to-people contacts between the two countries, Nepal and Bangladesh have been actively working to promote cultural cooperation since the signing of the Cultural Agreement in January 1978.
To further strengthen these bonds, Nepal and Bangladesh signed a Cultural Exchange Programme for 2022-2025 during the State Visit of President Bidya Devi Bhandari to Bangladesh on 22-23 March 2021.
In addition, the Bangladesh-Nepal Friendship Society, established in Dhaka in January 2016, has been closely working with the Embassy of Nepal in Dhaka to promote cultural exchanges and foster people-to-people relations.
