What I want to do is to open a new Countrypage sub-window by clicking on the "New" button which is in Countrypage itself.
For example, if I click the "New" button in a CountryPage window (window title: "Country page"), one more new Countrypage window will be opened in the MDI area (window title: "Country Page 1"). Now if we click the "New" button in "Country Page 1", one more new window will open in the MDI area (window title: "Country page 2") and so on - and I want to close the windows one by one by pressing the corresponding "Close" button in Countrypage. New window are opened only by pressing a "New" button.
And if we close the last opened window by pressing the "Close" button, the text item in the "Country" text-box will be automatically updated in the previous window's "Country" text-box and so on.

The adding and closing of sub-windows is best handled by the main-window. The CountryPage class doesn't need to know anything about the sub-windows. The new/close buttons can be directly connected to methods of the main-window. This makes it easier to manage the sub-windows via the functions of the mdi-area.
Below is a re-write of your example which should do what you asked for:
