Many countries of the world recognised Kosovo as an independent country though Bangladesh is yet to recognize.

Salim Prodhan, chairman Japan-Bangladesh Group urged the government to recognise the newly born country. Peoples of Kosovo achieved their independence through great sacrifices by ousting dictator Melosevich. The liberation war of Kosovo is same as the liberation war of Bangladesh in 1971.

Japan-Bangladesh Group organised a press conference at National Press Club on Tuesday where Salim Prodhan spoke at the press conference. Among others, SM Rashed Ahmed, former UN Ambassador to Kosovo was present. In his keynote paper, Rashed Ahmed highlighted its geographical, historical, cultural and socio-economical conditions and said about the history of liberation war and reverse condition Kosovo.

Japan-Bangladesh Group argued if the government recognized Kosovo as a Muslim populated country, Bangladesh might make friendship by trade and commerce. Salim Prodhan added if government takes this opportunity Bangladesh would be benefited by exporting its goods to Kosovo, as a European country.
