On May 26, 2008, the then UNHCR (now UN Secretary General) Mr. António Guterres visited Bangladesh. I was his host officer. I remember we visited Rohingya camps in Cox's Bazar. Eleven years down the line, I recollect this episode today as I delegate the job of a host officer to a junior colleague of mine at the Ministry. Mr. Luis Miguel Etchevehere, Secretary of Government of Agrobusiness, Government of Argentina is undertaking a four-day visit to Bangladesh.
I was sharing with the host officer designate my experiences in that very role. The officials who guided me that occasion are in even senior positions. With passage of time, some responsibilities recur and some responsibilities transition. I was lucky to collect the images of the field visit during a re-visit to Cox's Bazar after many years when the Documentation officer cum cameraman recognized me.
