Foreign Minister AK Abdul Momen on Wednesday visited the Vatican Embassy, formally known as the Apostolic Nunciature of the Holy See, in Dhaka.

The foreign minister signed a book of condolences for former Pope Benedict XVI who passed away on December 31, 2022.

Momen noted, “Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI will be remembered for his tireless pursuit to promote peace, development, and human rights across the world. Under his guidance, the Catholic community in Bangladesh played a noticeable role in promoting education and social services.”
