For the last two years, the Embassy had been regularly following up the proposal of establishing a permanent Language Monument with The Hague Municipality. Observing Immortal Ekushe and International Mother Language Day in The Hague in an international atmosphere strengthened the demand of a permanent Language Monument. Consequently a high powered committee headed by the Hon’ble Mayor of The Hague unanimously approved the proposal of the Embassy. Now the monument has to be constructed in compliance with the environmental standards.

To make the appeal of the International Mother Language Day universal a permanent Language Monument in this City of Peace and Justice could be an inspiration for other cities of the world who promote unity and diversity.
