I am happy to know that the NRB Worldwide Inc, a member of the Greater New York Chamber of Commerce, is going to organise the 'NRB Global Convention & Bangladesh Trade Fair 2018' during September 21-23,20l8 at New York, USA. It is really a praiseworthy venture and I appreciate the leadership of the organisation for their arduous efforts to hold this event aiming to introduce the contribution and status of non-resident Bangladeshis and Bengali language and culture as well.
Bangladesh is a country with rich history and diverse cultural heritage. The people of the country are peace-loving and hardworking. The country is on the Super Highway of Development under the pragmatic leadership of our Honorable Prime Minister, Her Excellency Sheikh Hasina. Very recently, Bangladesh qualified successfully for graduation from a least developed country (LDC) to the developing country status by the evaluation of the United Nations. In our development endeavour, non-resident Bangladeshis (NRBs) are playing a very important role through maintaining an unhindered remittance flow. Arrangement of such a convention and a fair with participation of the NRBs living in the USA will be an excellent platform of interaction between the business communities of Bangladesh and the USA. I believe that the convention will create ample scope for the participants to ensure reciprocal communication and develop business relation in the context of competitive global trade. It will definitely widen the avenue of opportunities for the overseas Bangladeshis to get acquainted with the recent innovations and products in Bangladesh.
I firmly believe that the Convention and the Bangladesh Trade Fair will serve as a bridge among all the Bengali immigrants in USA. I wish the 'NRB Global Convention & Bangladesh Trade Fair 2018' a grand success.
