Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen called upon the Bangladeshi diaspora to play an active role in their country, countering misinformation and propaganda with facts and figures.

He also praised their role in connecting Bangladesh with the world and urged them to highlight the nation's achievements while speaking at an event, titled "Branding Bangladesh through UN Peacekeeping & NRBs," organised by the Centre for Non-Resident Bangladeshi held at Queens in New York on Sunday (24 September), said a press release by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. 

Momen emphasised the strong relationship between Bangladesh and the US, both in trade and shared values.

He encouraged the Diaspora to stay connected with Bangladesh and contribute to the socio-economic progress of both countries.

The foreign minister acknowledged the challenges that followed independence, including famine and climate disasters, which led Western leaders to label Bangladesh as a "bottomless basket."

However, over the years, Bangladesh has evolved into a vibrant economy, witnessing remarkable growth in exports and GDP. It now stands as the 35th largest economy globally, having significantly reduced poverty and improved various social indicators.

Momen praised the leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina for rebranding Bangladesh as a role model of development.

Under her guidance, Bangladesh has made significant progress in socio-economic indicators, climate diplomacy, and humanitarian efforts, he added.

He also emphasised Bangladesh's commitment to peace and security, highlighting its role as a top contributor to UN Peacekeeping Operations and recognised the invaluable contributions of the 12 million Bangladeshi expatriates, who support their homeland through remittances and contributions to various sectors.

Dr. Mashiur Rahman, economic advisor to the prime minister, MS Shekil Chowdhury, chairperson, Centre for NRB were present among others.
