A reception was hosted at the Baridhara residence of Enayetullah Khan, Honorary Consul of Romania to Bangladesh and Editor-in-Chief of UNB and Dhaka Courier in honor of former French Ambassador Marie-Annick Bourdin on July 16, 2019.

Miller, German Ambassador Peter Fahrenholtz, Dutch Ambassador Harry Verweij, Brazilian Ambassador Joao Tabajara de Oliveira Junior and government officials, among others, attended the reception.
