What enthralled me even then were the wonderful art museums which contained many of the very paintings that I was studying in my art history course at Edinburgh. On later Paris visits alone and beginning in the late 1990s with my second wife, I revisited changing neighborhoods and returned to beloved museums. As the years passed, I began to explore an even darker side of French history.

In efforts to address this, a storage and processing center, established with the support of the Netherlands government in Bharadoba, Bhaluka subdistrict, has commenced operations. This facility, a collaborative effort with Agro Processing Netherlands, boasts a capacity of 400 tons. The minister commended the Netherlands government's initiative, emphasizing its benefits for both producers and consumers in Bangladesh, and encouraged private investment from both nations in further storage solutions.
