HistoryIn 1950, the Shah of Iran, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, first visited East Bengal where he stayed for four days at the palace of the Nawab of Sylhet and went wildlife hunting in the Estate forests. During the Bangladesh Liberation War, Iran stood with Pakistan politically and diplomatically.[2]{{rp|78–79}} Iran had helped Pakistan by sheltering PAF's fighter jets and providing it with free fuel to take part in the conflict.[2]{{rp|80}}{{verification needed|date=September 2017}} Modern relationsWith the fall of the Shah in 1979, new dimensions were added to the relationship between the newly proclaimed Islamic Republic of Iran and Bangladesh. Relations gradually grew further with President Hashemi Rafsanjani becoming the first Iranian leader to visit independent Bangladesh in 1995. Subsequently Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina also visited Iran and held talks with President Mohammed Khatami. Iran assisted Bangladesh with relief package after the cyclone Sidr hit Bangladesh in 2007.[3] The government of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad sought to deepen ties between the two states, with Iranian investment in Bangladeshi industry. Bangladesh has also supported Iran's nuclear program, saying it is for peaceful purposes.[4] Bangladesh and Iran signed a preferential trade accord in July 2006 which removed non-tariff barriers, with a view to eventually establishing a free trade agreement.[5] Before the signing of the accord, bilateral trade between the countries amounted to US$100 million annually. In mid-2007, the Bangladeshi government requested Iran's help in the construction of a nuclear power plant in Bangladesh, in order to offset the decline in the availability of gas for power generation. Bangladeshi Minister of Power, Energy and Natural Resources also requested Iranian assistance for the construction of new oil refineries in Bangladesh.[6] Trade RelationsBangladesh and Iran signed an MoU on signing a bilateral trade agreement at the meeting held in 20 February 2001. Besides, there is a preferential trade agreement signed in 2006 between the two countries which has remained not functional for last nine years. The proposed joint council deal is expected to increase Bangladesh’s export to Iran as the latter has good demand of jute and jute goods. “Bangladesh government also plans to provide some trade facilities to exporters to Iran. The issue will be discussed with the Iranian authorities,” said an official. Of the MoUs, an MoU will be signed on the import of wheat from Iran, officials said. An MoU on agriculture sector signed at the 2013 meeting will be extended till 2020. About the PTA, officials said the countries have failed to settle dispute of rules of origin of products in last nine years of signing of the agreement, which has kept it non-functional. Meanwhile, Iran asked Bangladesh to regularly pay installments of a loan taken from the country in the 1980s. An ERD letter sent to foreign affairs ministry recently cited the development. Bangladesh took the loan to construct Ashuganj Fertiliser and Chemical Company Ltd, but later faced problems in continuing the repayment of installments after the sanction was imposed on Iran in 2006.[7] TerrorismBangladesh and Iran have discussed possible cooperation in the area of fighting against extremism. “We discussed the possibility of common joint cooperation on extremism and we will look into the exact details of how we can do that,” visiting Iranian Foreign Minister Javed Zarif said at a press briefing at Hotel Sonargaon yesterday. He came to Dhaka Tuesday night to explain the nuclear solution it had with the Western World. He left the city yesterday. He had official talks with his Bangladesh counterpart AH Mahmood Ali and courtesy call on President Abdul Hamid and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.[8] Oil DevelopmentEastern Refinery, the sole oil refinery in Bangladesh, was built with assistance from Iran.[9] References1. ^{{Cite web|url=http://bdnews24.com/bangladesh/2014/02/02/pm-calls-for-enhanced-iranian-investment|title=PM calls for enhanced Iranian investment|last=|first=|date=|website=bdnews24.com|access-date=2018-06-22}} 2. ^1 {{cite book|last1=Mudiam|first1=Prithvi Ram|year=1994|title=India and the Middle East|publisher=British Academic Press|isbn=9781850437031|url=https://books.google.com/?id=jiDYjw4gCzEC&pg=PA79&q=shah%20of%20iran%20and%20india%201971|accessdate=24 December 2016|language=en}} 3. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.irinnews.org/report/75648/bangladesh-muslim-countries-rush-relief-to-cyclone-hit-south|title=Muslim countries rush relief to cyclone-hit south|date=2007-12-03|work=IRIN|access-date=2018-06-22|language=en}} 4. ^{{Cite web |url=http://www2.irna.com/en/news/view/line-17/0705163533132415.htm |title=Iran ready to cement ties with Bangladesh: Mottaki - Irna |access-date=2007-06-11 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070522103002/http://www2.irna.com/en/news/view/line-17/0705163533132415.htm |archive-date=2007-05-22 |dead-url=yes |df= }} 5. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.bilaterals.org/article.php3?id_article=5286|title=Dhaka to sign preferential trade accord with Tehran|access-date=2018-06-22}} 6. ^Bangladesh Seeks Iran's Cooperation In Nuclear Energy Sector {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110726205753/http://www.shana.ir/111378-en.html |date=2011-07-26 }} 7. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.dhakatribune.com/uncategorized/2015/01/31/initiatives-taken-to-cement-bilateral-ties-with-iran|title=Initiatives taken to cement bilateral ties with Iran|date=2015-01-31|work=Dhaka Tribune|access-date=2018-06-22|language=en-US}} 8. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.dhakatribune.com/bangladesh/2015/sep/17/bangladesh-iran-agree-fight-against-extremism|title=Page not found {{!}} Dhaka Tribune|website=www.dhakatribune.com|access-date=2018-06-22}} 9. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.dhakatribune.com/uncategorized/2015/09/01/tehran-ready-to-negotiate-gas-pipeline-project-with-dhaka|title=Tehran ready to negotiate gas pipeline project with Dhaka|date=2015-09-01|work=Dhaka Tribune|access-date=2018-06-22|language=en-US}} Further reading
