The tradition continues, once again H.E. Sheikh Muhammed Belal Ambassador of Bangladesh threw open the doors of Bangladesh House, this time around to host a dinner in honor of a Bangladeshi delegation for a program of Garment Industry and Journalism.
All took place on Monday 6 February 2017. In his welcome remarks Ambassador Belal, flanked by his spouse Dr. Dilruba Nasrin cordially welcomed the journalists to Bangladesh House and the Netherlands.
‘You are close to my heart’ stated Ambassador Belal, ‘ because you are the eyes and ears of my people. Reporting on what you have seen and experienced during the course of your trip will certainly enrich our people.’
Ambassador Belal hence urged the delegates to glean as much as possible from what the Netherlands has to offer. The Netherlands and Bangladesh he continued have in common that they are both small and so-called delta countries. The atmosphere at the dinner has by all means been an excellent one.
