Bangladesh attached to French values: Ambassador Causeret
Friday, 16 July 2010
French Ambassador to Bangladesh Charley Causeret said that Bangladesh was strongly attached to the French Revolution values of liberty, equality and fraternity, reports UNB.
The Ambassador made the remarks at a reception at his residence Wednesday evening in observance of the National Day of France.
On July 14, 221 years ago, a mob took by storm a royal jail in Paris, La Bastille, in order to release innocent prisoners.
"What we are really observing today is not the fall of a fortress, in fact we are celebrating the values which were put forward following this event, namely liberty, equality and fraternity --values which need to be defended endlessly," Causeret said.
He also said that like France, Bangladesh was strongly attached to these ideals on which every democratic society is founded.
