Foreign Minister Dr A K Abdul Momen has directed all Bangladesh missions abroad to involve international community in Mujib Barsha celebration.
Involve government, civil society and Bangladeshi expatriate community in celebrating the Mujib Barsha (Mujib year) in befitting manner, he said.

establishing Bangladesh as a country and Bangalee as a nation,” he wrote.
Momen also directed the missions to play more active role in upholding Bangladesh image through exposing Bangladesh success in front of the government, business community, civil society and mass people of their respective countries.
