Speaking on the occasion, Muhith said the country has done pretty well in the last 40 years although 16 years of the four decades ruled by military adventurism which had left the country’s growth stagnant taking the country backward.
He said the government and the private sector, which comprised 80 percent of the country’s economic activities, played the key role in Bangladesh’s progress.
