"I wish to extend through your good offices, my deepest gratitude for the cooperation and efforts extended by one and all in making the International Day of Yoga celebrations a resounding success every year in Bangladesh.

"Please accept my best wishes to you, your family and your citizens, for good heath and well-being," he said.
