10 December 2024, the Russian House in Dhaka in cooperation with the Liberation War Affairs Academy Trust organized a solemn event on the occasion of the celebration of the 53rd anniversary of the Great Victory in Bangladesh honoring freedom fighters and a cultural program.
The event was inaugurated by Pavel Dvoychenkov, Director of the Russian House in Dhaka. Congratulating everyone on the victory, he noted that the Great Victory Day of Bangladesh is a day of glory for both our countries, reminding us of the historic victory. On the day of the 1971 revolution, the Soviet Union supported Bangladesh. Relations between the two countries developed thanks to the support of Bangladesh in the liberation war. Russia helped build large industrial enterprises and power plants. At the request of Bangladesh, the Soviet Navy with direct cooperation demined the port of Chittagong and ensured its full operation.
President of the Soviet Alumni Association of Bangladesh Dr. Mizanur Rahman said that the Liberation War is the most significant event in the history of Bangladesh. The brave freedom fighters showed outstanding bravery in this war.
Chairman of the Liberation War Affairs Academy Trust, Dr. Abul Kalam Azad said that freedom fighters are the best citizens of our nation. It is our duty to respect them, and today we want to express our respect and gratitude to these brave freedom fighters.
Bangladeshi freedom fighters also spoke during the event.
The cultural program included songs and poems about the War of Independence. Freedom fighters present at the event shared their feelings and experiences.
