Nahar also became the world's first Muslim woman to undertake such an extensive journey with a national flag. Her mission symbolises courage, unity, peace and environmental responsibility across international borders, airline officials said.


Certificate was presented at US-Bangla Airlines office in presence of senior officials including Kamrul Islam, General Manager of Public Relations, and Mir Tajmul Hossain, Head of Digital Marketing.


US-Bangla Airlines, Bangladesh's largest private carrier, said it remains committed to honouring individuals who embody the nation's pride, resilience and global responsibility. Nahar's achievement represents Bangladesh's spirit on a truly global stage through her historic journey spanning nearly every nation worldwide.


Recognition highlights how individual citizens can promote national identity and values through personal initiatives. Journey covered countries across all continents, showcasing Bangladesh's flag in diverse cultural and geographical settings.


Officials emphasised that Nahar's accomplishment goes beyond personal achievement, serving as inspiration for Bangladeshis to represent their country positively on international platforms. Her focus on environmental responsibility during the journey aligns with global sustainability goals while promoting peaceful international relations.
