Earlier, officials took the national flag of Bangladesh and walked around the mission. Md Bashiruddin, Councilor of the Deputy High Commission; Councilor Reazul Islam (Education and Sports), Mohammad Shamsul Arif, First Secretary (Commerce); and Ranjan Sen, First Secretary (Press), held the four corners of the flag. They were accompanied by Andalib Elias, Head of Chancery Shamima Yasmeen Smriti and other mission staff.

After hoisting the flag, the Deputy High Commissioner said, "On that day, this mission was the first to leave Pakistan's side and express loyalty to the government of Bangladesh. We are proud to hoist the national flag today to commemorate that day."
