UNB, Dhaka :
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Thursday hoped that Bangladesh will be able to reach to its desired goal of being a middle-income country by 2021 and a developed one by 2041 with support from China and other friendly countries.
The Prime Minister said this when a six-member delegation led by Chen Fengxiang, vice minister of China Communist Party (CCP) on International Department, met her at her office. Extending her thanks to Chinese government and its friendly people for standing beside Bangladesh it its development efforts, Sheikh Hasina said she is eagerly waiting for the visit of Chinese President Xi Jinping to Bangladesh.
PM’s Press Secretary Ihsanul Karim briefed reporters after the meeting. Sheikh Hasina thanked China for providing support for the construction of a proposed multilane road tunnel project under the Karnaphuli River saying China has made enormous contributions to Bangladesh’s economic development.
The Prime Minister told the Chinese delegation that Bangladesh has already attained food security, and highlighted various programmes taken for achieving rapid progress.
She also mentioned free distribution of textbooks among students up to secondary level and providing better healthcare services to rural people. “Bangladesh is a small country with huge population. Now Bangladesh’s main task is to eradicate poverty,” Hasina said.
She also reiterated her government’s firm commitment of “zero tolerance” against terrorism. Laying importance on strengthening cooperation between the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and Bangladesh Awami League, the Prime Minister, also the president of the Awami League, said the visit of a delegation of Awami League in last May was very successful.
More such visits will take place in future as the visit led by Awami League general secretary Syed Ashraful Islam boosted party-to-party relations and cooperation in sharing experience.
