Bangabandhu's philosophy and foreign policy of independent Bangladesh

Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman is the principal architect of the foundation of the foreign policy of post-independence Bangladesh. Bangladesh declared Independence on March 26, 1971, and achieved victory on December 16. Bangabandhu returned to Bangladesh on January 10, 1972, after being imprisoned in Pakistan. Bangabandhu was released from Pakistan prison and came to Bangladesh via London and India. Through his return, he clearly indicated Bangladesh's future foreign policy. His speech at Suhrawardy Udyan after coming to the country also hinted at the future of foreign policy. Bangabandhu emphasized two points regarding foreign policy in his various speeches. These were the foundations of Bangladesh's foreign policy. The present government is also implementing the foreign policy followed by Bangabandhu. Bangabandhu has often said that Bangladesh will be the Switzerland of the East. Apart from this, Bangabandhu used to say that the main structure of Bangladesh's foreign policy will be 'friendship to all, enmity to none. Bangabandhu has established the foundation of Bangladesh's foreign policy by establishing friendships with everyone.
