The country starts its 10-day celebrations of Mujib Borsho and golden jubilee of independence today with colourful events and presence of global leaders.
The celebrations have been planned to coincide with the birthday of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, who led Bangladesh s Liberation War against Pakistan in 1971. The celebrations will end on March 26 on Independence Day.
The occasion is well worth a celebration and the government has arranged countrywide programmes to mark it, given the country s socio-economic progress in the last decades and its important place in the global arena.
Different countries as well as experts have lauded Bangladesh, which has emerged as one of the fastest growing economies in Asia. It is well on track to graduate from a least developed country (LDC) to a developing one by 2026.
