The British High Commission Dhaka hosted a Welcome Home Reception for Bangladeshi Chevening and Commonwealth Scholars who recently completed their postgraduate studies in the United Kingdom.
The event, held at the British High Commissioner’s residence, brought together returning scholars alongside representatives from the British Council, the Bangladesh Association of Commonwealth Scholars and Fellows, and the Chevening Alumni Association of Bangladesh.
British High Commissioner to Bangladesh, Sarah Cooke, congratulated the scholars and said: “UK government funded scholarship programmes reflect the strong partnership between the UK and Bangladesh, grounded in shared values and mutual respect. Our scholars have all studied at world-class UK universities, and we look forward to seeing the positive impact they will make in Bangladesh in the years ahead.”
In his remarks, Stephen Forbes, Country Director of British Council Bangladesh, said: “Your academic success and commitment to learning demonstrate the potential to drive real progress in Bangladesh. Staying engaged with the Commonwealth and Chevening networks will strengthen your ability to take on future challenges.”
A total of 40 Commonwealth and 22 Chevening graduates were celebrated at this reception, alongside distinguished alumni.
