Imdad Haque’s Serbia travelogue unveiled

A travelogue titled "Serbia: Shuvro Shohorer Deshe" authored by Imdad Haque was unveiled at the capital's Foreign Service Academy today.

Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen attended the event as the chief guest with former principal secretary of the Prime Minister's Office Ekushey Padak recipient poet Kamal Chowdhury in the chair.

In the travelogue, the writer has eloquently organised the book in 25 different topics highlighting the history, culture, economy, education, sports and natural beauty of this central European country, speakers at the event said.

President of ACI Agro Business FH Ansari addressed the event while Bangla Academy Award winning writers Iktiyar Chowdhury and Sadhana Ahmed discussed the book.

They said the book will be a good-read and a source of information for the travelogue lovers.

Addressing the event, AK Abdul Momen praised the writer for writing the travelogue on Serbia.

He highlighted that the Bangladesh's bi-lateral relationship with Serbia has started taking a new shape recently.

To lessen the suffering of the Bangladeshi visa applicants, Serbia recently sent a consular team from Delhi to Dhaka and they issued about 3,500 visas for Bangladeshis, the minister informed.

AK Abdul Momen also said there is a huge demand for Bangladeshi products in Serbia.

He said, "Process is underway to establish direct trade relations between both countries. The Serbian Foreign Minister will visit Bangladesh soon and these issues will be finalised during the trip."

Writer Imdad Haque began his career in journalism. Currently, he is serving as the Assistant Private Secretary to the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

This is Imdad Haque's second book. In the book, he narrated how he got acquainted with a Serbian girl during a trip to various natural-historical sites in the country.

His first book was "Campus Reporting: Sangbadikorat Hatekhari".
