ZCF holds iftar mahfil marking 11th founding anniversary
DHAKA, Mar 11, 2026 (BSS) - Zia Cyber Force (ZCF), a voluntary organisation of BNP, today held a doa and iftar mahfil in honor of online activists at a city restaurant on the occasion of its 11th founding anniversary.  Water Resources Minister Shahid Uddin Chowdhury Anee was present as the chief guest while State Minister for Fisheries and Livestock Sultan Salauddin Tuku presided over the event.  Leaders and activists from various levels of the party and renowned online activists participated in the event. In his speech, Shahid Uddin Chowdhury Anee congratulated ZCF leaders and activists on the organization's founding anniversary.  He said, "Various online teams, including Zia Cyber Force, worked together during the movements, struggles, and elections, and due to their collective efforts, it was possible to present many visible achievements to the people."  "In doing so, we had to face many challenges. There are many families who suffered the most during those times. There is no opportunity to forget those families, and it is everyone's responsibility to stand by them," the minister added.  Anee urged ZCF activists to continue their concerted efforts in the coming days.  In his speech, State Minister for Fisheries and Livestock Sultan Salauddin Tuku said, "Under the leadership of Tarique Rahman, the journey of a democratic Bangladesh has begun. However, various propaganda and conspiracies against the country and the government are still ongoing. Therefore, responsibility does not end just by coming to power; rather, everyone must be more vigilant."  Addressing the online activists, he said that like the past, the positive works of the government must be presented to the people in the future, and a strong stance must be taken against any propaganda.   "In the past days, online activists have played an important role. They provided significant cooperation, especially in various electoral activities," added Tuku.  Sultan Salauddin Tuku informed that during his election campaign in Tangail, members of Zia Cyber Force played a major role. Speaking as a special guest, the Prime Minister's Adviser Dr Mahdi Amin said, "ZCF played an important role during the long 16-year anti-fascist movement and during the subsequent interim government."  He said that at various times, the ZCF courageously presented the truth and just matters and stood up against propaganda. For this, he expressed gratitude to them on behalf of the government. Dr Mahdi Amin said as BNP is in charge of governing the state, ZCF now has the responsibility of presenting the government's achievements and development activities to the people.  He further said, "Proper information and arguments must be presented against the propaganda that is currently ongoing against the government and which may intensify in the future." Mahdi Amin expressed optimism that ZCF will continue to play a positive role in the future as it has in the past.  At the programme, a special doa was held praying for the welfare of the country and the nation.

EU says Azerbaijan energy ties vital as Iran war shakes markets
BAKU, March 11, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Europe's energy cooperation with Azerbaijan is more important than ever as the Middle East war rattles global markets, European Council President Antonio Costa said Wednesday during a visit to the country. European governments fear the war could further disrupt energy supplies and push prices even higher, prompting the EU to accelerate efforts to diversify gas sources and strengthen partnerships with alternative suppliers such as energy-rich Azerbaijan. "With the war in Iran shaking global energy markets, our energy partnership is more important than ever," Costa told a press conference alongside Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev in the capital Baku. Azerbaijan has already been "central" to Europe's effort to diversify energy supply sources, he added. The European Union is now working with Azerbaijan on a new framework for closer cooperation, he said, adding that the sides were also exploring ways to deepen ties in defence and security. Aliyev said "Azerbaijan continues to play an important role in ensuring Europe's energy security." Costa also thanked Azerbaijan for helping facilitate the safe repatriation of European citizens from Iran amid the war. Triggered by joint US-Israeli strikes on Iran launched on February 28, the war in the Middle East has unsettled global energy markets and pushed oil prices higher, as traders assess risks to major shipping routes and supply disruptions.
