She was elected at the week-long assembly held recently in London, said the High Commission on Monday. The assembly is the top policy-making body of the 106-member International Mobile Satellite Organisation, the only international organisation that oversees public satellite safety and security in maritime communication services provided by mobile satellite communication systems. Earlier, Bangladesh High Commissioner to the UK and the Commonwealth Saida Muna Tasneem was also unanimously elected as a member of the Commonwealth Foundation Grants Committee for the term 2020-2021. The Commonwealth Foundation is one of Commonwealth’s three principal agencies alongside the Commonwealth Secretariat and the Commonwealth of Learning. As part of Bangladesh’s sustained leadership bids at the Commonwealth, in October 2020 Bangladesh Foreign Minister Dr Abdul Momen was elected as Chair of the Commonwealth Ministerial Action Group on Guyana.
