He served as the secretary of the Asia and Pacific Wing of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs before heading for Beijing. The career diplomat also served as the Bangladesh high commissioner to Singapore and Sri Lanka. Mahbub belongs to the 1985 batch of Bangladesh Civil Service Foreign Affairs cadre.   

Members of the Bangladeshi community in Beijing on Sunday shared their emotional attachment to the International Mother Language Day and National Martyrs Day and reminisced how they attended the event in their early life.
