The Bangladesh embassy in Myanmar has awarded the first-ever ‘Ambassador’s Travel Grant’ to four expatriate Bangladeshi students, during the celebration of the ‘International Migrants Day and National Expatriates Day 2024’.
Ambassador M Monwar Hossain launched the grant programme with the aim of informing the new generation of expatriate Bangladeshi nationals about the history, tradition, culture, socio-economic development of Bangladesh and enhancing people to people contact between the two countries.
Under the programme, the Bangladesh embassy bears the travel expenses of expatriate Bangladeshi students related to their education/research work within Myanmar or in Bangladesh.
On the occasion of the day, the Bangladesh embassy organised a meeting with the participation of expatriate Bangladeshis living in Myanmar.
The event included reading out of the messages by the president, chief adviser, expatriate welfare adviser and home affairs adviser, screening of documentaries on expatriates, and expressions of feelings expressed by the grant awarded.
Ambassador Monwar Hossain paid deep respect to all the heroes of the War of Independence and all the martyrs of the July-August Movement.
