We were pleased to host the Hon. Andrea De Maria, member of parliament and secretary of the Bureau of the Chamber of Deputies, lawyer Gustavo Pavone and Paolo Accunzo, together with members of the Democratic Party.

Topics of the meeting

• the importance of integrating the Bengali community in Rome;
• religious equality in schools;
• Ius Scholae (citizenship through schooling);
• work;
• the ever-stronger bond between the city of Rome and Bangladesh.

On behalf of the organising association, BIMAS Italy, we thank everyone who took part in the event and made the debate lively and thought-provoking.

The relationship between Italian politics and the Bangladeshi community in Rome is still being built, but many steps forward have been taken over time.
