Bangladesh Embassy in Bahrain has announced the launch of its new blog which aims to provide social, cultural, natural, economic and tourism related information to the public interested in learning more about the country as well as the embassy work.

This will complement the embassy's website and serve as an online journal that will share a running log of events and personal insights with an online audience.

Each week, the blog will share posts focused on four different themes: Embassy news, Top 10, Interesting Facts and Bangladesh Stories, said the embassy in a press release.

Bangladesh Stories will be short personalized stories highlighting valuable insights on what life is like in the country through the eyes of several locals in various sectors talking about their experiences in their home country.

Those keen to participate and share a story can submit their requests on the blog and be featured as well, said the release.

The social media campaign will seek to engage the local and Bangladeshi community through social media and serve as a platform to support their interests. In addition, the social media initiative will also promote cultural events, facts and news of interest to the local and Bangladeshi community in Bahrain, it added.

In addition to this, the embassy will be present on Instagram to boost its presence among youth. The blog’s content will also be shared on Instagram simultaneously giving access to different target audiences.

Launching the blog, Bangladesh Ambassador to Bahrain Major General KM Mominur Rahman (Retd) said: “In this digital age, we found this to be an appropriate step to engage with the youth and be the first embassy in the Kingdom to start this kind of initiative."

We want the local and the Bangladeshi community to participate by sharing their moments, stories and engage with us online. In addition to that, the blog will serve as a vital platform to further strengthen our dialogue with the local Bahraini community here," he observed.

"This program builds on our goal to develop and strengthen the linkage between Bahrain and Bangladesh. We encourage everyone to participate and share with us their views and experiences," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
