Consisting of leading academics, former diplomats, business leaders, media experts as well as civil service representatives from Denmark and abroad, the advisory board is a select group of renowned personalities in the field of globalisation, says a press release.

In the context of the emergence of a new globalised world and its impact on international relations, the advisory board is expected to assist the Danish foreign ministry in the challenge of developing a recipe for modern diplomacy in the 21st century in the broadest sense of the word: foreign and security policy, development assistance, trade and export promotion, consular services, as well as public diplomacy.

Chowdhury's appointment on the high-level advisory board in Denmark adds to the recognition that Bangladeshi businesswomen have now arrived in the global scenario and are being valued for their professional insights and their ability to contribute to issues of international importance.
