Russian House in Dhaka, in collaboration with the Liberation War Academy Foundation and the Russ-Bangla Kollayan Trust, organized an event to commemorate the 54th anniversary of Bangladesh’s independence on Thursday (27 March).
The Ceremony started with a minute of silence in tribute to the memory of all the brave martyrs of the Great Liberation War and a solemn salute to the honorable Soviet Navy for their dedicated efforts in clearing mines from Chattogram and Mongla ports.
In his welcoming speech, Director of the Russian House in Dhaka P. Dvoichenkov emphasized the historical friendly role of Russia in the Great Liberation War for the independence of Bangladesh and the overall development of post-war Bangladesh.
Mohammad Abdul Whab, President of the Russ-Bangla Kollayan Trust and Mohammad Abul Kalam Azad, Chairman of the Liberation War Academy Trust, recalled with gratitude the Soviet Union's assistance in the development of Bangladesh, including help in the Liberation War and post-war reconstruction of the country, emphasizing that Bangladesh's independence would not have been possible without the support of the Soviet Union
