Law Minister Anisul Huq was present as the chief guest. Politicians, diplomats stationed in Dhaka, businesspeople and journalists attended it.
"The relationship between the two countries is based on the principles of cooperation and mutual respect which has reached the level of "strategic partnership" between the two countries and people in recent years," he said.
The envoy said Bangladesh and the UAE share close people-to-people bond, similar national realities and complementary development goals.
Mheiri said the UAE adopted an active approach to diplomacy with a marked openness to across the world establishing an extensive network of relations with various countries around the world.
The Ambassador noted that the UAE is actively involved in the fight against extremism and terrorism, and a key element in the country's determined efforts to ensure its national security and enhance international security.
The UAE has accomplished important achievements in this regard, both through military participation in Islamic and international alliances and the enactment of local laws to fight against terrorism and its causes.
