Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina drew ecstatic applauses from the participants of the two-day Global Gateway Forum 2023 in Brussels when she passionately spoke at the opening session highlighting her tireless efforts in achieving landmark economic progress over the last 15 years.
Focusing the struggles within the country during the earlier years of independence, the Bangladesh Prime Minister urged the world leaders to work for peace, according to an article run by a London based online platform.
She said Bangladesh currently has one of the highest GDP growth rates in the world, outstripping the EU, the UK, and the United States, an incredible achievement by any standards.
“Bangladesh is now the world’s 35th largest economy,” she said.
“Our 70-billion-dollar economy has grown into 465 billion in less than 15 years,” she added.
“We have lifted millions of our people out of poverty. Extreme poverty has come down to 5.6% from 25.1% in 2006. Bangladesh is set to graduate from UN LDC status in 2026,” said Sheikh Hasina.বিস্তারিত
