Every year on the 3rd of October, the Republic of Korea celebrates its National Foundation Day, Gaecheonjeol, which marks the founding of the oldest dynasty in Korean history. It is a great pleasure to celebrate this important day and honor the legacy of our forefathers with the people of Bangladesh and Korean expatriates living in Bangladesh. The Korean Embassy used to host an annual reception to celebrate this meaningful day, inviting friends and partners in Bangladesh as well as the diplomatic community. Unfortunately, due to the unprecedented pandemic, we celebrated it virtually this year on a special website (www.bd-korea.com), which opened at 10:00 am on the 3rd of October. I invite you all to visit the site, join our celebration and enjoy the various interesting content.
