The prime minister of Bangladesh has called for “constant support” from Russia for the construction of a second nuclear power station in the Asian country.

Sheikh Hasina said during a meeting with Alexey Likhachev, director-general of Russia’s state nuclear corporation Rosatom, that once the Rooppur nuclear power station is completed, Bangladesh wants to build another in the southern region of the country. “We need constant Russian support in this regard,” she said.
