Bangladesh–Papua New Guinea relations

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Tagged for notability for two years. Relations are the same as Bangladesh has with most countries: no resident ambassadors, no state visits, no bilateral agreements, and negligible economic ties. The Atlas of Economic Complexity shows 2015 bilateral exports from Bangladesh at $1.33M (0.004% of total), and from Papua New Guinea at $5.58M (0.06% of total). There are 500 Bangladeshis working in Papua New Guinea, but that is insignificant compared to the 30,000 Filipinos, 200,000 Indians, and 1 million Chinese workers there.

Five of the cited sources are versions of government press releases issued upon one or another non-resident ambassador presenting his credentials. The sixth is a briefing after the Papua New Guinea labour minister met his Bangladeshi counterpart (the highest ever level of contact I could find). No evidence was found that anything came of the meeting. Insufficient coverage in independent, reliable, secondary sources, so fails WP:GNG.

Possibly merge to Foreign relations of Bangladesh and Foreign relations of Papua New Guinea (neither of which currently bother mentioning the other), although I don't see anything more than ordinary diplomatic sweet talk here. Worldbruce (talk) 02:21, 26 May 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete in the absence of sources that mark this as notable and not constituting WP:UNDUE weight between either country. – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 05:21, 26 May 2019 (UTC)
