Highly praising Bangladesh’s economic growth under the leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, the Australian envoy described Bangladesh as the champion of economic development and women empowerment.The Australian high commissioner lauded the performance of Bangladesh cricket team and said a memorandum of understanding on sports sector cooperation between the two countries is expected to be signed soon. Mentioning terrorism a global problem, Sheikh Hasina said, “We’re creating mass awareness against terrorism and militancy through involving people of all strata, including religious leaders and teachers … we’re getting tremendous response from people to this end.”
The Prime Minister also said she had already arranged a videoconference with cross section people of 64 districts to mobilise public opinion against terrorism and militancy.
She expressed Bangladesh’s interest in greater collaboration with Australia in the fields of trade, investment, education, sports and culture. “We would like to see greater collaboration with Australia in matters related to trade, investment, education, sports and culture,” Hasina added.
Elaborating various steps of her government for the development of the womenfolk, she said no country could achieve its desired progress excluding women, the half of the total population, from the development process.
Hasina said the success of women is everywhere in Bangladesh and they are now in an equal stage along with their male partners in education, games and sports and creative works.
In this regard, she mentioned that the country’s women are now in very high position in all sectors like administration, judiciary, education, as well as the armed forces and law-enforcement agencies.
The Prime Minister expressed satisfaction over the excellent bilateral ties established back in 1972, and Australia is the first OECD (organization for economic cooperation and development) country to recognise Bangladesh as an independent state.
PMO Secretary Suraiya Begum was, among others, present at the meeting.
