Korean Ambassador to Bangladesh HE Park Young Sik and Deputy Chief of the Mission Miss Jinhee Bak visited the central office of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami and hold a courtesy meeting with Jamaat Ameer Dr. Shafiqur Rahman. Following the meet, both of them delivered a short brief to the journalists:
In this short press briefing, Jamaat Ameer Dr. Shafiqur Rahman said, "We discussed various bilateral issues. We also expressed our views on how to improve the friendly relations between the two countries further. Recently, there was a mass uprising of the students in the country in the name of quota reform movement and the government followed an ugly path to suppress this movement. Finally, 15-and-a-half-year struggle of the people of the country against an authoritarian government has become successful. At the cost of many lives, the nation has achieved this favorable atmosphere. We discussed how to take Bangladesh forward and how the Korean Republic can work with the world community for the development, security and progress of the people of Bangladesh.
We drew their attention and sought their help for facilitating the treatment of those, who became injured in the recent movement. They have assured us in this regard. At this moment, we sincerely need their cooperation. We also discussed how the expatriate Bangladeshis living in Korea can contribute more with their honesty and skills and asked for cooperation so that more Bangladeshis can go to Korea. Our discussion was very good and satisfactory. They have assured us that they will further support Bangladesh. They also have more things to share and we listened them carefully. We tried our best to clarify those issues. We felt that they became convinced with our narratives.
