State Minister for Foreign Affairs Message - Bangladesh Independence Day

This year we are celebrating the Golden Jubilee of our glorious Independence. At the same time, we are celebrating the Birth Centenary of our Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. These occasions give us opportunities to uphold the image of our beloved motherland. Our Father of the Nation, the great architect of our Liberation War dreamt for a happy, prosperous, exploitation free and equitable 'Sonar Bangla' (Bengal of Gold). On this glorious day, being imbued with the spirit of our great Liberation War and with a view to building Bangabandhu's dream of 'Sonar Bangla' (Golden Bengal), let us take a fresh vow to devote ourselves to work from our respective positions in advancing the ongoing development efforts of the present government to strengthen the hands of Hon'b1e Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and build a better world for our future generations.
