Speaking of the journey towards this collaboration, Zareen Karim said, "Nearly two years ago, the Commonwealth of Dominica offered me the position of their Bangladeshi Consulate. In line with that, we applied to the Government of Bangladesh.
"Though it took some time to obtain various clearances from the Bangladeshi government, today we have received the NOC from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."
The Commonwealth of Dominica is renowned for its lush rainforests, volcanic landscapes, and unique culture. It presents a myriad of opportunities for collaboration, especially in sectors such as tourism, agriculture, and power generation.
The majority of the population is of African descent, with smaller groups of European and Carib Amerindian heritage.
The island's economy is based on tourism, agriculture, and light manufacturing. Tourism is the main source of income, with visitors attracted to the island's natural beauty and outdoor activities. Agriculture is also important, with bananas, citrus fruits, and coconuts being the main crops.
