On the auspicious occasion of 34th anniversary of the independence and National Day of Bangladesh, I extend my heartiest felicitations to the brotherly people and government of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and our expatriates in Saudi Arabia.
The war of liberation is the most glorious event in our national history. The war began in March 1971, with the historic proclamation of independence by Shaheed President Ziaur Rahman. We achieved independence after a nine-month-long struggle at the supreme sacrifice of millions of martyrs. I pay tribute to the martyrs and do pray to Almighty Allah for the salvation of the departed souls. On this joyous occasion, I congratulate the valiant freedom fighters.
Bangladesh and Saudi Arabia are enjoying excellent relations at bilateral and multilateral levels. Both countries are committed to further strengthening the existing bond of relations. I extend my gratitude to the government of Saudi Arabia for employing a significant number of Bangladeshis who are making valuable contributions to the economic development of the Kingdom. I urge upon our expatriates in Saudi Arabia to abide by the law of the Kingdom.
I appreciate the valuable support and cooperation extended by our expatriates in discharging the responsibilities entrusted to the consulate general smoothly. I renew my commitment to ensuring quality and prompt services to them.
I wish our expatriates continued peace, prosperity and happiness.
Long live Saudi-Bangladesh friendship.
Allah Hafiz.
Ashraf Uddin
(Consul General of Bangladesh)
