Prime minister Sheikh Hasina on Monday urged the Iranian president Dr Seyyed Ebrahim Raisi to take efforts to ensure that Iranian women could live with dignity and honour with equal opportunity for education and work with their male counterparts.

She made this call when the president of the Islamic Republic of Iran phoned her on Monday afternoon.

After exchanging pleasantries, both leaders shared views on the issues of bilateral, regional and international interests, said a press release issued by the PMO.

Hasina cited that Bangladesh abstained from voting for UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) resolution to remove Iran from the Commission on the Status of Women.

During the 22-minute tele-conference, she recalled that Bangladesh and Iran, being the members of OIC and D-8, have often been supportive to each other on many occasions.

The PM reiterated Bangladesh’s readiness to extend support to Iran in multilateral platforms, especially in the UN.

In this context, she cited Bangladesh's vote against the resolution placed by Canada at the Human Rights Council

Hasina thanked president Raisi for the telephone call and appreciated that the new administration of Iran has been reaching out to Bangladesh to expand and consolidate bilateral ties.

She said that the bilateral trade volume between the two countries was far below the true potential and both sides should take further engagements to enhance trade and business between the two countries.

Emphasising the need for forming a Joint Business Commission (JBC) between the chamber bodies of the two countries, the Bangladesh premier underlined the need for regular Joint Economic Commission (JEC) meetings.

The premier informed that Bangladesh was working towards convening the 6th meeting in Tehran sometime this year. In this regard, she hoped that the platform of the Joint Economic Commission would facilitate both sides to explore ways of overcoming the trade barriers, existing international sanctions, and restrictions in bank transactions.

Hasina highlighted that with its growing manufacturing strength, Bangladesh could be a source of quality imports at a competitive price.

She added that Bangladesh has been exporting world-class garment and textile products, porcelain, pharmaceuticals, frozen fish and seafood, leather goods, jute yarn, IT, light engineering, small and medium size ships, agro products, and more to Western markets, including Europe, the USA, and other destinations.

She also expressed Bangladesh’s willingness and ability to export those products to Iran as well.

Hasina congratulated Iran for the restoration of diplomatic ties with Saudi Arabia.

She appreciated that this was a classic example of a successful diplomatic maneuver that would lead to greater regional stability in the Gulf and beyond.

The Bangladesh PM condemned Israel’s recent acts of aggression, desecration of the al-Aqsa Mosque, and the raid on Palestinian worshippers.

She informed that her government has consistently condemned such illegal acts by Israeli forces.

She briefed President Raisi about the humanitarian treatment extended to the Rohingya refugees for more than five years despite the declining financial support from the international community.

She urged Iran to support Bangladesh’s cause in international platforms, including OIC, as Rohingya repatriation should be a priority for the Muslim community.

Hasina wished the president and the brotherly people of Iran a blessed and peaceful Ramadan and a belated Happy Nawroz.

She also thanked him for his warm greetings on Bangladesh’s Independence Day.
The PM recalled her visits to Iran in 1997 to attend the 8th OIC Summit and August 2012 to attend the 16th NAM Summit in Tehran. She also stated that bilateral relations between Bangladesh and Iran were premised on strong commonalities which emanated from shared history, faith, and culture.
The Bangladesh prime minister invited the Iranian President to visit Bangladesh at his convenience. She wished him and the brotherly people of Iran a happy Eid-ul-Fitr in advance.

Your PM Hasina doesn't know hoot about Iranian society.

Iran is a heaven for women. The literacy rate for women was 99 percent in the year 2021. I expect it to be 100 percent by the end of 2025.

Iranian college students are by almost 60% of female gender.

Iran has the highest number female scientists in own region.

If Hasina is talking about showing her body in the public, then i must say that we have different culture. She has to worry about her own people, our women are fine. She Just needs to pull her head out of sand and do a research on the web from western sources and see by her own eyes that Iranian women are the most educated people of their own region.

Hijab in Iran is something cultural and historic. It dates back to prophet Zartosh (A. S.). And it is an internal matter of Iran predicted in the national laws of Iranian legislation.

Heartwarming story.

Can I ask why is it that the Iranian diaspora doesn't practice the Hijab? The Arabs, Malayans, Indonesians, the Maoris, Somalian, Sudanese and to some extent the East and west Pakistanis do carry the custom outside their countries.

Political positions should be given based on meritocracy, not to satisfy the diversity quotas of western societies

 

[Acetic Acid]

President Ibrahim Raisi should ask hasina to stop terrorism against her political opponents and must end her dictatorship

Do you know PM Hasina is just one of the 8 world leader who voted in favor of Iran at the resolution tabled at UN regarding woman situation in Iran? She had to face lots of criticism internally for that. So it’s her both moral and political responsibility to address this woman issue with Iranian president.

Why did Bangladesh vote in favour of Iran?

A draft proposal on the existing human rights situation in Iran was passed at the UN Human Rights Council on 4 April 2023. A total of 23 votes were cast in favour of the proposal mainly placed by several European countries. Eight votes were cast against the proposal while 16 countries refrained...

Truth be told bulk of the Iranian woman don’t like hijab and like to show their body. This is the trend everyone see in the west. They consider Islam as religion of the Arab imposed on them specially the new generation. For old generation I have seen mixed opinion. Some are religious and some are atheist.

I hope you have got my point.

Might be the Persian blood in them and the need to identify with that…

It dates back to prophet Zartosh (A. S.).

He's not a prophet in the Islamic tradition, maybe nationalistic Iranians like to believe so but doesn't make it true

I’ve thought about this. His religion did have the concept of hell and heaven, judgment day, good vs evil - very relatable to Islam. Additionally, if we go by the Qur’an that Allah wa tala sent 125,000k prophets, then it isn’t far fetch to consider Prophet Zartosh as one of them.

Remember, the priestly class, the Magi likely took over the religion and changed it to their liking like most of the priests across the world do.

Are you a prophet recognizer? Zartosht was a true prophet, Quran confirms that we have not forgotten any of human tribes and we have sent prophets after prophets to guide them to the truth. No one can claim that Allah forgot our tribe or something like that.

Like other prophets, his teachings were distorted and greedy people after him, turned the religion into idol worshipping cult just like Ehli-Kitab.

Zartosht had his own book, his teachings guided Iranians towards a long lasting civilization including hijab.

Iranian people and Iranian women consider badly covered women (western style) as uncivilized human being.

Well, she is taking the advantage of political matters and esp internal matters of Iran. When was the last time that she spoke to Iranian women and listened to their concerns?

Hasina is welcome to visit Iran anytime, with hijab of course!. Law is law, no difference in that.

Tell us why the Iranian Police should beat Mahsa Amini to death. Is this also written in the books written by Zorasthrot of Iran? Please send us a copy of his Farman.

If he has written so, his bones should be sought out and burned
in liquid acids.

Many hundreds of bullets are being fired at the women protesters. Islamic Police target their vagina. Was this also prescribed by Islam or Zorathrust?

Women should decide on their own affairs. But, greedy Mullahs interfere at every opportunity to disturb women.

No reason women should follow the Mullah Fatwa. Mullahs are not to prescribe everything in society. They are just a group of evil-doers who dream of women's bodies 24 hours a day.

Really?

Just because you have organised prostitution legal in your country, you as a Bangladeshi male would talk for women? It's fine if Hasina is doing it, somewhere deep down she is a woman but who invited you?
