I fully endorse the views expressed by Abdul Hannan and Talukdar Maniruzzaman for fielding a candidate for the post of the UN Secretary General.

Now that China has made it known that it will not support any major Asian country, it is imperative that we contest the election. Should Bangladesh decide to take out a claim for the post, the motivating factor should be to serve the national interest by nominating the right candidate who has the best possible chance to win without allowing any extraneous factor to be a part in it to impair our maturity as a nation.
