The victory, with the highest number of votes, marks yet another acknowledgement by the International Community of Bangladesh’s active role on critical global social issues. We had campaigned hard for it at the UN, and I am very pleased with the outcome. I am sure Monsur Ahmed Choudhuri will do a splendid job.
