At the heights of the celebrations, five heads of state and government from five neighbouring countries visited Bangladesh from March 17-27.
Also, Bangladesh received many written and video messages from world leaders and the heads of international organisations.
The statements by the visiting dignitaries and written and video messages from the world leaders were compiled into the book “World Leaders on Bangabandhu and Bangladesh.”
Two other books “Bangabandhu for You” and “Celebrating Together Bangladesh @50” were also unveiled on the same day.
