DUCSU VP Chhatra Shibir leader says “Reunion of long-lost brothers” DUCSU VP and Chhatra Shibir leader Sadiq Kayem said at a inaugural function organized at Dhaka University Medical Center, “We are deeply honored to welcome Bilal Erdogan and the legendary Masud Ozil to the historic Dhaka University campus. This feels more like a reunion of long-lost brothers than a formal meeting. Their presence is a reflection of a friendship between Bangladesh and Turkey that goes beyond protocol and speaks of true human relations.” He said, “This bond between Bengal and Turkey is nothing new. During the Khilafat Movement during the British rule, Bengalis stood by the Ottoman Sultanate in solidarity. Our literary tradition has also imagined the land and culture of these two regions as a common civilization.” The DUCSU president said, “Today’s Bangladeshi youth are boldly writing a new chapter in history. They want to build strong international partnerships based on human dignity and rights through mutual respect.” He noted that the support of the Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TIKA) will further strengthen the relationship between the two countries.
