On Thursday (30 July 2026), the Moroccan Embassy in Dhaka celebrated the 27th anniversary of the accession to the throne of His Majesty King Mohammed VI of the Kingdom of Morocco (Throne Day) with due dignity. Business In Bangladesh Editor Engr. Mohammad Shajibul-Al-Rajib participated in the event as an invited guest and extended greetings.
Abdul Awal Mintoo, Minister of the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, was present as the chief guest at the event. He extended heartfelt greetings and congratulations to the King, government and people of Morocco on behalf of the government and people of Bangladesh. He said that the bilateral relations between Bangladesh and Morocco are expanding in various fields including trade, education, culture and technical cooperation. High-level visits, regular exchanges of delegations from the government and private sectors, and trade and commerce dialogues are giving new momentum to the relations between the two countries.
In his welcome speech, Moroccan Ambassador to Bangladesh Lala Bouthaina El Kerdoudi El Koulali said that the history of friendship between Bangladesh and Morocco is long. Although the foundation of modern diplomatic relations was laid with the recognition of Bangladesh’s independence in 1973, the historical connection between the two countries is much older. The famous Moroccan traveler Ibn Battuta visited Bengal a century ago and described the beauty, hospitality, and prosperity of the region in his travelogue, which symbolizes the historical bridge between the two nations.
Ambassadors, high commissioners, diplomats, senior government officials, business leaders, academicians, cultural figures, and media representatives from various countries participated in the event.
