The gallery will be a testament to the enduring bonds of friendship between India and Bangladesh. It will offer visitors an inspiring journey through history and serve as a symbol of valor, resilience, and the indomitable spirit of the people of Bangladesh.

Indian High Commissioner Pranay Verma emphasised the historical significance of the 1971 Liberation War for both Bangladesh and India and underlined the unwavering spirit of friendship and solidarity that guided India's support for the cause of Bangladesh's freedom.

The gallery will highlight the shared commitment of India and Bangladesh to preserve and celebrate the spirit of 1971 that continues to guide our relations, he added.
