Dear Madam
I am the undersigned Shah Mohammad Taifur Rahman, a citizen of Bangladesh. I have been living for 11 years in Italy. Personally, I am an established businessman and have been working in various ways for the social, cultural, and development of Bangladeshi expatriates in Italy with the various political activities.
My personal initiative is to protect the interests of Bangladeshis in Italy and the hostile behavior of the administration towards foreigners in Italy., to solve the bureaucratic complications, to help the compatriots, and also to unite the large community of 45,000 Bangladeshis in Italy to introduce the people of Bangladesh and, above all, to improve the poor population of Bangladesh. In 1992, the Italbangla coordination and development association was established in Italy with the aim of encouraging economic investment and employment of Bangladeshis in Italy and, above all, to work for the expatriates in improving the socioeconomic condition of Bangladesh. For a long period of 9 years, our organization has been helping ordinary Bangladeshis in Italy, as well as working to protect the rights and human rights of the Bangladeshi diaspora and to establish the political rights of nannies in Italy and for the development of the compatriots. At the same time, we have been working with great skill and reputation in organizing various activities such as International Mother Language Day, the 21st February celebration, and the Baisakhi fair festival every year to develop Bangladeshi cultural identity abroad in the cultural environment, which is appreciated in the Italian government administration, political and social arena, and expatriate Bangladeshis in Italy are duly recognized by the embassy of Bangladesh in Italy.
In addition to its activities in Italy, our organization has recently set up a branch in Dhaka to provide legal information and advice on immigration through legal work in Italy.
