Momen for making bridges between Bangladesh and diaspora
DHAKA, Sept 27, 2020 (BSS) – Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen has put emphasis on building bridge between Bangladesh and talented Bangladeshi young diaspora to utilize their knowledge and global networking into the country’s development efforts.
“We have to work together so that we can develop bridges and engage them (diaspora) in Bangladesh,” he said.
The Foreign Minister made the remarks while addressing a virtual discussion with the British Bangladeshi Talent Network on Saturday night.
The Foreign Minister said if the talented Bangladeshi origin youth, who are working at different globally reported organizations, visit Bangladesh, they will automatically understand what to do because they are very bright.
“They (Bangladesh origin expatriate youth) are innovative and they can help us,” he said.
The foreign minister said he is planning to organize an annual ‘visit Bangladesh’ programme for the Bangladeshi diaspora so that these Bangladesh origins talented youth can explore the potentiality of the country.
Momen said Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina created a mindset among the country’s young people that “We can win. We are a nation of victors. If we work, we can win.”
Bangladesh High Commissioner to the UK Saida Muna Tasneem also joined at the discussion.
