The Bangladesh embassy says the International Mother Language Day was observed on Feb 21, but before that, the foreign secretary laid the foundation stone of the first-ever Shaheed Minar on Feb 19.
The Hague municipality has agreed to let Bangladesh build a permanent language monument in the city.
Last year, the municipality allocated a land in Zuiderpark - the heritage park of The Hague.
“The Hague Municipal authority is also happy to be part of this historic event,” he added.
The foreign secretary thanked The Hague municipal authorities for allocating the land.
Ambassador Sheikh Mohammed Belal in his remarks requested the non-resident Bangladeshis to help with the maintenance of the Shaheed Minar after construction.
The embassy will host a day-long cultural event on Feb 24 marking the International Mother Language Day.
