Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen said that by following the ideals of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman’s ideals can the culture of peace across the world be attained.
Speaking at a program marking Bangabandhu’s 99th birth anniversary, “Bangabandhu in the International Arena” at Jatiya Press Club, he also cited the recent terrorist attack in New Zealand’s Christchurch, adding that everyone must rise above the barriers of religion and race, and embrace a tolerant mindset.
“The attacks across the world are happening due to hate and envy, which we must get out of,” the minister said.
Various workshops and seminars are being organized to showcase Bangabandhu’s legacy and contribution to the world, Dr Momen remarked.
In order to shed light on the issue of genocide inflicted on Bangladeshis during 1971’s War of Liberation, the government is planning on setting up a room at Dhaka’s Sugandha, the state guest house, where photographs of the atrocities will be put up so that visiting dignitaries can learn more about it.
State minister for health and family welfare, Dr Murad Hasan, spoke as special guest, while former ambassador, AKM Atiqur Rahman, presented the keynote paper.
Bangladesh Study Trust President, Professor Dr Uttam Kumar Barua, presided over the discussion while general secretary, Dr Mamun Al Mahtab Shwapnil, moderated.
