Mr Choudhury, congratulations on your appointment as the UN resident coordinator in Botswana. Before you, who were the other Bangladeshis who served in UN resident coordinator roles? Do you foresee – with you joining there – any possibility of better economic ties between Bangladesh and Botswana, or for that matter with countries in the African south? Definitely, there is good scope for better ties between Botswana and Bangladesh, as we have a very diverse and rapidly growing economic base, and can surely share our expertise in different sectors.
