DHAKA, 12 February 2022, (TON): Foreign Minister Dr. AK Abdul Momen said “Bangladesh has been promoting a 'culture of peace' which is actually Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's philosophy of peace.”

he told the UAE strategic community while presenting a keynote speech at the prestigious Emirates Centre for Strategic and Security Studies at Abu Dhabi "Bangabandhu wanted an independent refuge in the very quotidian life of man where he or she could be safe from oppression, hunger, malnutrition, ignorance and hatred.”

A foreign ministry press release said “a foreign ministry press release said here “the programme highlights the Vision of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman on Global Peace and World Security.”

The minister said "Bangabandhu gave precedence to the 'rule of law'. Even when those same rules and laws were institutionalized to oppose his vision and his political and economic objectives, Bangabandhu never adhered to violence or hatred as a counter measure.”

Foreign Minister noted that Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's vision of the world and of world peace is rooted in the visions of Bangabandhu.

During the 66th UN General Assembly in 2011, he said, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina gave the world a six-point multi-dimensional peace-centric development model for championing democracy and people's empowerment.
