Your Excellency,
ASSALAMU'ALAIKUM WARAHMATULLAAHI WABARAKAATUH
On the occasion of your Independence Day, it is with pleasure that I offer my sincere congratulations to you, the Government and people of the People's Republic of Bangladesh.
I am pleased that the warm relations and close cooperation enjoyed by our countries have grown from strength to strength, especially as we commemorate the 40th anniversary of diplomatic relations this year. I look forward to further deepening these valuable ties in the years ahead.
Taking this opportunity, I would also like to wish you and your family a very blessed Ramadhan Al Mubarak 1445 Hijra. I pray that Allah Subhanahu Wata'ala continue to grant Your Excellency with good health and happiness, and the people of Bangladesh with peace, progress and prosperity.
