Londonঃ Bangladesh President Md. Abdul Hamid and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina have conveyed their heartfelt felicitations and warmest greetings to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on her 94th official birthday, which falls on the second Saturday in June.

In separate messages sent on 12 June, both the President and the Prime Minister have wished Her Majesty’s good health, happiness, and long life, and the continued peace, progress and prosperity to the friendly people of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

President Md. Abdul Hamid in his message said: “On the occasion of your Ninety-fourth Birthday, I would like to renew my pledge to work closely with Your Majesty to further strengthening and broadening of the existing bonds of friendship between the two Commonwealth countries in the days ahead. For the past seven decades I have been following with great admiration, Your Majesty’s service and duty to the people of the United Kingdom that continues to inspire us during these challenging times of the COVID pandemic”.

Prime Minister Sheikh in her message said: “On this special day, I would like to pay a tribute to Your Majesty for being the longest-serving Monarch of the world who has not only exemplified grace, duty, and service to her nation with utmost sincerity for the past seven decades but also won the hearts and minds of millions around the world as the Head of our Commonwealth family. Your Majesty’s spirited words, “We will be with our friends again, we will be with our families again, we will meet again”, have been a tremendous fountain of inspiration and courage emboldening us during the Covid-19 pandemic, the deadliest crisis of our lifetime. I take this opportunity to reaffirm the excellent bonds of friendship and cooperation between our two Commonwealth nations that were consolidated by our Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and Yourself when Your Majesty first received him at the Ottawa CHOGM in 1973 and grew from strength to strength over the past half-century. I also recall with great pleasure our interactions at the 2018 CHOGM in London.”
