Vice President of the University said Bangabandhu's "Unfinished Memoirs" is a unique document which not only depicts the history of the birth of a nation but is also written by the man himself who created history and brought freedom to his countrymen.

A video message from Foreign Minister AK Abdul Momen was played. He said Bangabandhu’s message of peace is the main dictum of Bangladesh's foreign policy - 'friendship to all, malice towards none'.

Radwan Mujib said Bangabandhu worked for the people of the country throughout his life. “It is not possible to know Bangladesh without knowing Bangabandhu.”

He said the book has provided an excellent opportunity for the present day youth to know the history of Bangladesh through the eyes of the leader who brought independence to his people. “Therefore, this translation will help the Thai readers to know Bangabandhu and Bangladesh together.”

A documentary based on the life of Bangabandhu was also screened.
