MESSAGE OF THE HEAD OF MISSION

First of all, Thanks to the Government and People of Bangladesh for being beside Palestinians. The relationship between Palestine and Bangladesh started since the independence of Bangladesh in 1971. As solitary representative of the Palestinian people, The P.L.O recognized Bangladesh from the early glory of 1971. People who fought and sacrificed their precious lives for the sake of the independence and liberty deserve not only our recognition but also the recognition of all nations in the world who are in favor of world peace & humanity. The foundation stone of the brotherly relationship was established by the two masters of freedom fighters – Yasser Arafat and Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. Bangladesh is the country that stood beside Palestine all the way through and all the time in every aspect. The People of Bangladesh fought side by side with their Palestinian brothers for the sake and protection of the values and principles. In this way, many Bangladeshi freedom fighters sacrificed their lives for the sovereignty of Palestine and Jerusalem. The Palestinian people and their leaders salute such sacrifice and bow their heads in respect to those martyrs who will always be remembered. We will always feel proud of our brothers & sisters from Bangladesh and shall never forget the tremendous support that they have provided us since the very day of their liberation in 1971.
