Silicon Valley paid its homage to Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman on his birth centenary for his outstanding contributions towards social, economic and political transformation as well as envisioning a prosperous and self-sustained nation.
On behalf of Silicon Valley, Lisa M Gillmor, Mayor, City of Santa Clara presented a crest honoring the father of the nation at the “US-Bangladesh Tech Investment Summit” on last Monday which will be later handed over to Bangabandhu’s daughter and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, said a press release on Saturday.
