Mr AHM Bazlur Rahman- S21BR in the name of Bangladesh NGOs Network for Radio and Communication (BNNRC) would like to support the candidacy of the Spanish Academy of Radio Arts and Sciences to the Prince of Asturias Award for Communication and Humanities 2013.

The Spanish Radio Academy has been the promoter institution for the initiative for the establishment of the World Radio Day by UNESCO in 2011, a proclamation that has received the endorsement of the United Nations General Assembly last December of 2012.

It is fair to recognize to the Spanish Radio Academy the efforts to collect support among institutions and broadcasters from all five continents to achieve the objective to establish the World Radio Day as an international celebration of the United Nations. It has also to be recognized the Academy his new initiative in the creation of the International Radio Committee that join together the most important and worldwide broadcasting organizations and telecommunications, between which ours is located, and whose purpose is to keep alive this celebration through various activities for the benefit of broadcasters and radio listeners around the world.

For these reasons Bangladesh NGOs Network for Radio and Communication (BNNRC)   asks the jury please consider granting the Prince of Asturias Award for Communication and Humanities 2013 to the Spanish Academy of Radio Arts and Sciences to understand that the establishment of the World Radio Day has contributed to recover the social prestige of the radio around the world joining professionals and listeners of different continents around this common cause.

Yours faithfully,

AHM. Bazlur Rahman-S21BR
