Information Minister congratulates Saima Wazed

Information Minister Dr Hasan Mahmud congratulated Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s daughter Saima Wazed Hossain as she has been chosen as a "Thematic Ambassador" by Climate Vulnerable Forum (CVF) under the thematic domain of 'Vulnerability'.

In a message on Saturday (July 25), the information minister said that despite being a very low carbon emitter, Bangladesh is a victim of global climate change. But, it is a matter proud of that under the leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, Bangladesh is recognized in the world as a pioneer in the struggle for rights. Following the footprints of the leader, as a CVF ambassador, Saima Wazed will now stand beside the countries at risk and vulnerability to climate change and global warming.

Besides Saima, the CVF also made former President of Maldives Mohamed Nasheed, Deputy Speaker of the Parliament of the Philippines Loren Legarda and Lead Climate Change Specialist of DR of Congo Tosi Mpanu-Mpanu as its "Thematic Ambassadors" under three other thematic domains respectively - Ambition, Parliament and Renewable Energy.
