The event comprised a press conference and film screening session.


In his welcoming speech, director of the Russian House in Dhaka P Dvoychenkov noted that every year a press conference is organised to observe the day together with representatives of the Bangladeshi media and the Russian House deeply appreciates the support in promoting activities through the media.

He also highlighted that the Russia House in Dhaka is committed to supporting a free and dynamic media sphere and that open dialogue and the promotion of mutual understanding are prerequisites in today’s interconnected world.

He recalled that every year the Russian House organises events for Bangladeshi citizens, including short-term study visits to Russia and other events.

In October-November 2023, seven media representatives took part in two visits of the programme, and about ten journalists took part in the World Youth Festival held in March 2024.

The press conference was attended by more than 50 media representatives representing television channels, print and online media in Bangladesh. The director of the Russian House sincerely answered journalists’ questions about the activities of the Russian House in Dhaka and expressed his gratitude to everyone.
