Welcoming the guests to the Swiss Night, the Ambassador of Switzerland to Bangladesh René Holenstein noted that Switzerland has been a strong and committed economic and development partner of Bangladesh since its independence. Dr. Gowher Rizvi, the International Affairs Adviser to the Prime Minister of Bangladesh, attended the event as the Chief Guest, while the National Professor of Bangladesh, Professor Anisuzzaman joined the event as the Special Guest. Both Dr. Rizvi and Professor Anisuzzaman highlighted the strong and long standing bilateral relations that exist between the two countries.

One of the main attraction of the Swiss Night was the announcement and handing over of the “Swiss Embassy Award”.
