Dhaka, Feb. 4 -- Deputy Director General of the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) and Head of Switzerland's Humanitarian Aid Division Ambassador Dominik Stillhart on Tuesday said the SDC will continue its cooperation with Bangladesh on humanitarian issues related to the Rohingya refugee crisis, climate risk reduction and migration.

Ambassador Stillhart, who is currently visiting Bangladesh, informed the senior officials of Bangladesh about the Swiss Parliament's approval of the International Cooperation Strategy 2025-2028, which requires substantial budget cuts.

As a result, he said, the ongoing bilateral development cooperation programme with Bangladesh will gradually phase out by the end of 2028.
