Vice-Chancellor Prof. Dr. A S M Maksud Kamal assured the Ambassador of the State of Palestine in Bangladesh Mr. Yousef S.Y. Ramadan to enroll at least 20 Palestinian meritorious students at Dhaka University every year and provide scholarship and accommodation facilities to them during a meeting on Tuesday.

Dr. Kamal said that DU authorities would extend all sorts of support to Palestinian students during their
studies at Undergraduate and Masters level at DU.

The Ambassador Mr. Yousef S.Y. Ramadan said, “Father of the Nation of Bangladesh Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman took initiative to establish a friendly relationship between Bangladesh and Palestine since the Independence of Bangladesh in 1971. His daughter Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina
always voiced supports for Palestine and stood beside Palestinian people in the
national and international arena.”

Palestine Ambassador requested DU Vice-Chancellor Prof. Dr. A S M
Maksud Kamal for allowing admission, granting scholarship and providing
accommodation to Palestine students especially female ones.

DU VC strongly condemned Israeli brutal attacks and killings of Palestinian
people. These Israeli atrocities, genocide and violation of human rights in Palestine territory
must be immediately stopped, he pointed out.
