In July 2019, the Commonwealth Secretariat s Countering Violent Extremism (CVE) Unit launched a project called
Amader Porichoi (Our Identity) in Bangladesh. It included teachers, government officials and students from various universities. They shared views on cross-generational experiences of the Bangladeshi identity, both pre- and post-1971, including awareness of misinformation and fake news. A film named
Shongram, produced by British-Bangladeshi Munsur Ali, was also screened. The government welcomed the innovative project in the lead-up to the 50th anniversary of Bangladesh s independence.
Furthermore, from 2011 to 2013, the then Foreign Minister of Bangladesh, Dr Dipu Moni, chaired the Commonwealth Ministerial Action Group (CMAG). Subsequently, in 2020, the current Foreign Minister, Abdul Momen, was appointed Chair of the CMAG to resolve the Maritime Territorial Dispute between British Guyana and Venezuela.

Individual French units and the small British Expeditionary Force fought desperate delaying actions, but Field Marshal Heinz Guderian’s panzers rolled on.

Rum is a diverse category that can seem overwhelming at first. Below, we have selected some examples to start you off on your rum journey.
If you’re new to the world of rum, then firstly welcome! Rum is one of the fastest-growing spirits categories and is responsible for a wide range of drinks, from the Mojito to Old Fashioned to Zombie.
