During a ceremony held on Tuesday by the Bangladesh embassy in Amman celebrating the golden jubilee of Bangladesh’s independence, the ambassador presented her country’s achievements, stressing that Bangladesh is considered as a role model of development in various fields including education, health, agriculture, information, technology, women’s empowerment, under the leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
Sobhan also pointed out in the ceremony, which was attended by a number of Jordanian officials, journalists and dignitaries, that Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the Father of the Nation of Bangladesh, dreamed of a “Golden Bengal” to make Bangladesh free from hunger, poverty, illiteracy and communalism.
