Indian envoy visits ‘Bangabandhu Corner’ in Brunei's Bangladesh high commission

The newly appointed Indian high commissioner in Brunei Alok Amitabh Dimri called on high commissioner Nahida Rahman Shumona at the Bangladesh high commission on Thursday.

After the meeting, the Bangladesh high commissioner Shumona invited the Indian high commissioner for a tour inside the ‘Bangabandhu Corner’.

The Indian high commissioner seemed highly moved while viewing the impressive collection of books mostly on Bangabandhu and Bangladesh, says a press release.

He was equally impressed to see the pictures representing various phases of the life and political struggle of the Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.

He fondly pointed at some pictures showing Bangabandhu and Indira Gandhi together, and praised Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman for his historic and breathtaking speech on 7 March 1971 at Ramna Race Course, now Shurawardy Udyan.

The Bangladesh high commissioner very compellingly briefed him on Bangabandhu’s inimitable leadership, struggle, dedication and contribution that led to the independence of Bangladesh in 1971.

Shumona presented the Indian high commissioner ‘The Unfinished Memoirs’, the autobiography by the Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.

The high commissioner-designate presented Bangladeshi high commissioner a book titled ‘Rabindranath Tagore: A Pictorial Biography’.
