French and Swiss Embassies Congratulate Mirza Fakhrul

Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir was congratulated by the French and Swiss Embassies in Dhaka on his election as Bangladesh’s president. The newly elected president received welcomes from both foreign missions in messages posted on their official Facebook accounts on Thursday night, August 20. The Swiss Embassy committed to maintaining strong ties with Bangladesh, while the French Embassy acknowledged his long-standing contributions as a seasoned politician to the nation’s democratic path and reiterated its intention to strengthen diplomatic ties.

These congratulations come after earlier Facebook posts from the British High Commission and the Chinese Embassy in Dhaka emphasising global support for the diplomatic move. Mirza Fakhrul is a well-known political figure in Bangladesh, and his appointment to the top constitutional position represents a significant change in the country’s government.
