UNB, Dhaka :
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Tuesday sought cooperation from German government, its people and political leaders as in the past to expedite her government’s relentless efforts to ensure a better life for its people.
The Prime Minister made the request when a five-member delegation of German Parliamentary Delegation, led by Dagmar G Wohrl, met her at her office.
PM’s special assistant Mahbubul Hoque Shakil briefed reporters after the meeting.
He said the Prime Minister, during the meeting, invited more German investment to Bangladesh saying that the country has
a very nice investment-friendly policy. Hasina said the government is working hard to establish a poverty-and hunger-free country where there will be no illiteracy, terrorism and militancy.
In this connection, the Prime Minister said after assuming office in 2009 the government had to fight against global recession on one hand while against militancy and terrorism on the other. “But we have been able to put the country’s economy on a solid ground.”
She also mentioned that the poverty rate has come down to 26 percent from over 40 percent as the government massively expanded the social safety net programme. Sheikh Hasina said the government ensured food security in the country through its pragmatic and time-befitting decisions and programmes.
The Prime Minister recalled the friendly relations between Bangladesh and Germany after Bangladesh’s independence.
