jute and textiles Minister and Awami League leader.

"I am very satisfied, but my only regret is that I am not able to stay on for the visit of the Bangladesh prime minister next month (to India) as I am going to take my new diplomatic assignment. Now my successor who is coming here on 26th will have the honour …… and I shall surely watch with great interest from Bangkok."
