Momen vows to defend Tauhedul

Foreign Minister AK Abdul Momen on Saturday said Md Tauhedul Islam, chosen for Austria as Bangladesh ambassador, is a very ‘bright and intelligent’ diplomat but he might have enemies who are trying to pull him down.

“He is a very good officer. He is very bright and intelligent. He is a doer. He is a performer. I will continue to defend him as long as I am here,” he told reporters while responding to a question.

The foreign minister said some people always try to pull down good people like Tauhedul who is a ‘success story’ and blamed his friends.

Momen said there had been many investigations but all the allegations brought against him proved to be false.

As a member of the Bangladesh delegation to the UN Headquarters, Ambassador Tauhedul made notable contributions on the global stage, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

His role was instrumental in drafting several crucial UN Resolutions, including that on rights and privileges of the persons living with autism spectrum disorder and other special disabilities, a people-centric model for a new development paradigm, and the post-MDG development agenda.
