Dear Visitors,

Welcome to the official website of the Embassy of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh to France and the Permanent Delegation of Bangladesh to UNESCO.

As the bilateral Embassy accredited to France, we work closely with the French government and society to strengthen our multifaceted relations—promoting high-level political dialogue, facilitating travel, trade, investment, cultural exchange, and people-to-people ties. We are committed to delivering efficient consular services to Bangladeshi nationals in France, as well as to French citizens and businesses engaging with Bangladesh.

In our capacity as the Permanent Delegation to UNESCO, we actively contribute to the Organization’s mission in advancing quality education, multilingualism, cultural diversity, peace, and the ethical use of science to combat climate change and protect biodiversity. UNESCO also serves as a vital platform to showcase Bangladesh’s rich cultural heritage on the global stage.

Additionally, this Embassy is concurrently accredited to Cameroon and Côte d’Ivoire, and we are dedicated to deepening Bangladesh’s cooperation with these nations across diplomatic, economic, and developmental spheres.

This website reflects our commitment to serving you—not as service seekers, but as valued partners in our shared mission to advance Bangladesh’s bilateral and multilateral engagements. We welcome your feedback and suggestions to help us enhance this platform further.
