Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday reiterated her commitment to improving the living standard of people through socioeconomic development of the country.

“I am working for achieving a goal... I have to implement the ideals with which my father had made the country independent. That is my promise. In this position, I would say that I have to do it,” she said while presiding over a meeting of National Economic Council (NEC) held at the NEC conference room. She joined the meeting virtually from Gono Bhaban.

Referring to the development of Bangladesh in the last 13 years, Hasina said Bangladesh has already attained the status of a developing country, graduating from LDC.

“We will move forward as a developing country and become a developed one in the future.”

Recalling the contribution of Bangabandhu in rebuilding the war-ravaged Bangladesh, Hasina said following the footsteps of the Father of the Nation, the government has taken massive development plans and is implementing those.
