City Desk  :
Bangladesh Ambassador to the USA Muhammad Imran has urged expatriate Bangladeshis to project the nation’s rich history, culture and heritage on foreign soil.
He requested all to work together to transform Bangladesh into a hunger-and poverty-free developed and prosperous “Sonar Bangla” (Golden Bengal) as dreamt by Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, reports UNB.
The Bangladesh Embassy in Washington DC welcomed Bangla Noboborsho (Bangla New Year 1431) on Saturday (May 4) with much enthusiasm and fanfare.
It also organized an “Open House” program as part of the “Passport DC’s Embassy Tour 2024”.
To welcome the Bangla Noboborsho, a Mangal Shobhajatra was brought out from the embassy.
The procession returned to the embassy after parading the nearby streets of the US capital.
Led by the Ambassador, embassy officials and employees and their family members and invited guests took part in the rally carrying traditional Bangladeshi musical instruments, masks and various other items.
Alternate Executive Director of the World Bank Sharifa Khan and a large number of foreign guests and members of the Bangladeshi diaspora were present at the event.
The key attraction of the program was a spectacular cultural show which presented Bangladesh’s rich culture and heritage.
The cultural event started with a rendering of Biswa Kabi Rabindranath Tagore’s song “Esho hey Boishakh, esho esho” by officials of the embassy and their spouses.
