One such diplomat was Syed Muazzem Ali, who after a diplomatic career spanning five decades left us one year ago today. In February 1978, I was posted back to the Foreign Ministry as director general responsible for international organizations, the United Nations, and multilateral economic affairs. Muazzem wrote in great detail about this momentous event in the chapter contributed by him for the book titled, Serving the Nation: Reflections of Bangladesh Diplomats, published by the Bangladesh Enterprise Institute. He was always respectful of his senior colleagues, and believed in extending a helping hand to his juniors. He and Tuhfa worked extremely well as a team, she was an enormous asset for him throughout his diplomatic career.
