Dr. Shafiqur Rahman, MP

On the occasion of the 47th anniversary of The New Nation, I extend my heartfelt greetings and congratulations to the newspaper’s editor, journalists, officers, employees, readers and well-wishers.

Founder through the initiative of Barrister Mainul Hosein. The New Nation is well-recognised name in Bangladesh’s newspaper industry.

Throughout its long journey, the newspaper has played an important role in the country’s media landscape.

On this auspicious occasion of its anniversary, I would like to recall particularly the indispensable role of the media in strengthening democracy, promoting transparency and accountability, and shaping public opinion through responsible journalism.

An independent, impartial and responsible press is one of the principal pillars of a democratic society.

The media can uphold its dignity and credibility by delivering truthful news, providing objective analysis, standing for justice and fairness, and reflecting the hopes and aspirations of the people.

I hope that, as in the past, The New Nation will continue its journey in the services of the country and its people in the years to come, adhering to the principles of professional integrity, impartiality and responsibility.

I wish The New Nation continued growth, success and a long and prosperous journey ahead.

With best wishes
