Bhutanese Prime Minister Dr. Lotay Tshering paid homage to Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
Tshering showed his deep respect to Bangabandhu by placing a wreath at his portrait on the premises of Bangabandhu Memorial Museum at Dhanmondi road number 32 around 12:20 pm.
Tshering visited the Bangabandhu Memorial Museum and signed the visitors’ book.
“On behalf of the people and the Royal Government of Bhutan, I offer my humble respect and prayers to Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman for giving above the manacles of foreign exploitation and blessing the nation onto a path of unprecedented peace, prosperity and stability,” the Bhutanese PM wrote in the visitors’ book.
His daughter Sheikh Hasina is now fulfilling Bangabandhu’s vision of ‘Sonar Bangla’, and with each passing year Bangladesh is becoming more prosperous and its people are being happier, he also wrote.
Earlier, the Bhutanese Prime Minister paid rich tributes to the memory of martyred freedom fighters by placing a wreath at the National Memorial in Savar at around 10:30 am.
Tshering arrived in Dhaka on Tuesday morning on a three-day official visit to join the celebrations of the golden jubilee of the country’s independence and the birth centenary of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina received her Bhutanese counterpart at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport by presenting a flower bouquet, while a 21-gun salute heralded the state guest’s arrival.
