Alimul Haque
Alimul Haque is a retired Bangladeshi diplomat who served as Ambassador to Germany from 2003 to 2005 and as High Commissioner to Pakistan from March 2000 to May 2003. Earlier in his career, he held several key posts, including deputy High Commissioner to India; second secretary of the Bangladesh Permanent Mission to the United Nations in New York in 1979; first secretary at the United Nations mission in Geneva; and counsellor at the Bangladesh Embassy in Beijing.
In August 1999, while acting as High Commissioner to India, he was summoned by Indian officials after cross-border firing between the Indian Border Security Force and the Bangladesh Rifles in Tripura. Haque conveyed Dhaka's position that Indian forces provoked the clash, amid broader border tensions and mutual accusations of insurgent activity.
He was appointed High Commissioner to Pakistan in March 2000, succeeding Masum Ahmed Chowdhury, and completed his term in May 2003. He had a farewell meeting with Pakistani Prime Minister Mir Zafarullah Khan Jamali, with both sides expressing satisfaction about bilateral relations and discussing cooperation.
As Bangladesh’s Ambassador to Germany in 2004, he handled communications about the death of Bangladeshi writer Humayun Azad in Munich. He said that German police had ruled the death natural after a post-mortem and that the High Commission was coordinating with German authorities and the Bangladesh Foreign Ministry to repatriate Azad’s body.
