Bishwa Ijtema

It is a matter of pride for us that the second highest council of Muslims takes place in Bangladesh. The Daily Star reported that more than three million Muslims, including nearly 7,000 foreign devotees with larger participation from China, India, Pakistan, Malaysia, Japan, Singapore, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait joined the Ijtema. Obviously it is a great opportunity for us to present our country to the foreigners. If we can encourage them to visit our country, it will help to increase national image as well as revenue. I personally feel that a strong combination of ministries like Ministry of Information, Ministry of Foreign affairs, Home Ministry, Ministry of Civil Aviation and Tourism, Ministry of Religious Affairs, Ministry of Cultural Affairs etc. is highly required to make this council a success every year. Planned tours and shopping scopes before and after the Ijtema can be very positive and our country can earn a lot of money through this. We expect more attention from the government and the organizations concerned in this regard.
