Dear Mr. President,
My wife and I have great pleasure in sending you and the People’s Republic of Bangladesh our heartfelt congratulations on the auspicious occasion of your Independence Day.
I reflect on, and value greatly, the strong ties and special friendship that are shared between our countries. I feel sure that our Commonwealth of nations, of which I am so proud to be a part, will continue to draw on its remarkable diversity and inspirational young people to rise to the opportunities and challenges of our time. Our invaluable connections across the Commonwealth are more precious today than ever. We must nurture them for the benefit of all Commonwealth citizens, now and in the future.
Our partnership on climate action is strong, driven by a shared ambition to accelerate efforts on adaptation and resilience. Our countries and peoples should continue to work together to ensure a safer and more sustainable future for all.
My wife and I extend our warmest good wishes to you and to the people of Bangladesh for the year ahead.
