On the auspices occasion of the 47th anniversary of Bangladesh’s oldest English-language daily, The New Nation, I would like to extend my warmest greetings to the editor, dedicated journalists, management, employees, readers and well wishers of the newspaper.

Founded by the courageous voice of Barrister Mainul Hosein, The New Nation has become an integral part of Bangladesh’s print media.

This anniversary moment is an opportunity to review the important role of responsible journalism in strengthening democracy, ensuring transparency and accountability and shaping public opinion.

A free, independent, responsible and the free press is essential in a democratic society.

I hope The New Nation will uphold the principles of honesty, fairness, impartiality and professional integrity.

On this milestone, I wish the newspaper’s continued success and readership growth in the years ahead.
