The BBC has forged a partnership with Bangladeshi online news publisher bdnews24.com to stream World Service radio through the site.

Programmes in English and Bangla have been made available to bdnews24.com, which is one of the first news website to launch in Bangladesh.

"We're absolutely delighted to be associated with BBC World Service," Toufique I Khalidi, chief editor of bdnews24.com said in a press statement.

"I'm certain that this partnership will not only be of great convenience to many who'd gotten out of the habit of listening to the radio but also will prove beneficial to BBC and bdnews24.com."

"Bangladesh is a very important country for the BBC, and this tie-up with bdnews24.com reflects our commitment," Neil Curry, BBC World Service regional business development manager for Asia, added.

"Availability of our radio content on this news website means further growth of the BBC's outreach around the world. It's an exciting development for us."
