Several agreements on trade, economic and technical cooperation were signed by officials and witnessed by the two leaders after their bilateral meeting Monday.
Hasina said that she and Hun Sen discussed the Rohingya refugee crisis, which "threatens peace and stability of our region," and that she asked for the Cambodian leader's "support for a durable solution to the crisis."

Hasina is scheduled to head back to Dhaka on Tuesday.
