New Pak envoy presents credential to President
DHAKA, Feb 19, 2020 (BSS) – High Commissioner-designate of Pakistan to
Bangladesh Imran Ahmed Siddiqui presented his credential to President M Abdul
Hamid at Bangabhaban here this afternoon.
Welcoming the envoy to Bangladesh, the President said following the foreign
policy “Friendship towards all, malice towards none” adopted by Father of the
Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the country always maintains good
relations with all.
President’s Press Secretary M Joynal Abedin told BSS after the meeting.
During the meet, the head of the state said Bangladesh is working to
develop bilateral relation with all neighbouring countries in all aspects and
it also believes in enhancing mutual cooperation regionally as well.
During the meeting, President Hamid said Bangladesh would celebrate the
birth centenary of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman
this year and the golden jubilee of the country’s independence in the next
year in home and abroad, especially in Bangladesh missions, by holding
different programmes.
The new High commissioner sought all-out cooperation in discharging his
duties in Bangladesh and the President assured him of providing all necessary
support to him.
Earlier, on his arrival at Bangabhaban, a smartly turned-out contingent of
the horse-mounted President Guard Regiment (PGR) gave the envoy a guard of
honour.
